App Tracker
Free job application tracker template
A copyable table for tracking a job search by hand: company, role, date applied, resume version, contact, status, and next step. Select the table, copy it into a spreadsheet, and go.
| Company | Role | Date applied | Resume version | Contact | Status | Next step |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Why these seven columns
Company, role, and date applied are the minimum anyone tracks. The other four are the ones people usually add back in after losing track of a search by month two: resume version so you know which variant you sent, contact so a reply doesn't arrive from a stranger, status so nothing silently dies, and next step so every row has an action instead of just a memory.
When a spreadsheet stops being enough
A table works until the resume-version column starts needing its own table — which version actually went where, and whether you told two interviewers two different numbers for the same job. That's what App Tracker's resume vault and append-only consistency ledger are for: the same idea as this template, kept honest automatically as the search grows past what a spreadsheet can track.
