A free spreadsheet that logs every role you apply for and tells you when to follow up. Its dashboard shows how many applications it takes you to land an interview, so you know which part of your search to fix.
Free · Three setup steps · Track up to 50 applications per sheet
The Job Application Tracker is a free spreadsheet with a dashboard on top and one row per application underneath. You enter each job once. The sheet calculates your follow-up dates, counts your interviews and offers, and shows you the numbers behind your search.
You set a goal conversion rate for each step, and the sheet shows your actual rate next to it. Say you've sent 20 applications and landed 1 interview. The dashboard makes that gap obvious, so you fix your resume or your targeting before sending 20 more. If interviews are coming but offers aren't, you know to put your prep time into interviewing instead.
