+# Application Tracker
+
+When you're applying for jobs, it's easy to lose track of where you've sent your CV, what stage you're at with each application, and when you need to follow up. An application tracker solves this problem.
+
+## Why Track Your Applications?
+
+- **Never miss a follow-up** - Know exactly when to chase companies
+- **Spot patterns** - See which approaches are working
+- **Stay organized** - Remember details for interviews
+- **Reduce stress** - No more "where did I apply?" panic
+
+## What to Track
+
+Create a spreadsheet (Excel, Google Sheets) with these columns:
+
+| Column | What Goes Here |
+|--------|----------------|
+| Date Applied | When you sent the application |
+| Company Name | The company you're applying to |
+| Role Title | The exact job title |
+| Job Link | URL to the original posting |
+| Platform | Where you found it (LinkedIn, Indeed, company website) |
+| Status | Applied, Screening, Interview, Offer, Rejected |
+| Salary | If mentioned in the posting |
+| Contact Person | Name of any recruiter or hiring manager |
+| Next Action | What you need to do next |
+| Follow-up Date | When to send a follow-up email |
+| Notes | Any useful info about the role or company |
+
+## Example Tracker
+
+Here's a simple example of how your tracker might look:
+
+| Date | Company | Role | Status | Next Action | Follow-up |
+|------|---------|------|--------|-------------|-----------|
+| 01/03 | TechCorp | Junior Dev | Interview | Prepare for tech interview | 05/03 |
+| 02/03 | DataSoft | Data Analyst | Applied | Wait | 09/03 |
+| 03/03 | WebAgency | Frontend Dev | Rejected | - | - |
+
+## Tips for Using Your Tracker
+
+### Update Regularly
+Add new applications the same day you apply. Update status changes immediately.
+
+### Follow Up Strategically
+Wait 1-2 weeks after applying before following up. Add follow-up dates to your calendar so you don't forget.
+
+### Note Everything
+Write down any conversations, interview questions, or company details. This helps for future interviews.
+
+### Review Weekly
+Spend 15 minutes each week reviewing your tracker. What's working? Which applications need attention?
+
+## Free Templates
+
+- [Google Sheets Job Search Tracker](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets) - Create a copy of a free template
+- [Notion Job Tracker](https://notion.so) - Many free job hunt templates available
+
+## The Key Habit
+
+The tracker only works if you use it consistently. Make it part of your daily routine - perhaps at the end of each day, spend 5 minutes updating where you applied.
