## Tracking Your Applications
98+
99+
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. Creating an application tracker helps you stay organized.
100+
101+
### What to Track
102+
103+
Create a spreadsheet (Excel, Google Sheets) with these columns:
104+
105+
- **Date Applied** - When you sent the application
106+
- **Company Name** - The company you're applying to
107+
- **Role Title** - The exact job title
108+
- **Job Link** - URL to the original posting
109+
- **Platform** - Where you found it (LinkedIn, Indeed, company website)
110+
- **Status** - Applied, Screening, Interview, Offer, Rejected
111+
- **Contact Person** - Name of any recruiter or hiring manager
112+
- **Next Action** - What you need to do next
113+
- **Follow-up Date** - When to send a follow-up email
114+
- **Notes** - Any useful info about the role or company
115+
116+
### Tips for Using Your Tracker
117+
118+
- **Update regularly** - Add new applications the same day you apply
119+
- **Follow up strategically** - Wait 1-2 weeks after applying before following up
120+
- **Review weekly** - Spend 15 minutes each week reviewing your tracker
