Job Application Tracker Spreadsheet

A job search has many moving parts: applications, follow-ups, interviews, contacts and offers. The Job Application Tracker keeps them in one file, with a single timeline of the next dates.

Set a weekly goal, add each job and update its status from Saved to Accepted. The Dashboard shows your applications per week against your goal, how many became interviews and offers, and which sources worked best. The Offers tab compares offers by yearly total and first-year total.

It is a digital download for Excel and Google Sheets, for one person per copy.

Frequently asked questions

Does it work in Excel and Google Sheets?

Yes. You get an Excel workbook and a PDF guide with a link to make your own copy in Google Sheets. The two versions are separate files and do not sync.

Does it improve my chances of getting a job?

No. It is a tracking tool and makes no promise about any application, interview or offer.

Can I apply for two roles at the same company?

Use one row per company and write the role in the name, for example Acme - Designer.

Is there an example file?

Yes. A second Excel file is filled with example data, so you can see how everything works before using your own numbers.
