Simple spreadsheet. Company, role, date, status, notes. Notes column is key — helps spot patterns. Also there are apps that do this for you, but they often cost $$

Thanks I use your advice, this will be so helpful.

It never occurred to me to do this. I have a folder in my email that I send the thank you for applying emails too. But pretty much any job I’m applying for I’m interested in. Do you find keeping your applications organized helpful?

yes, whats measured is managed :)

Color-coded Excel sheet. I include the company, role, notes, why I applied, etc. I keep resumes with the title as the company name and role. Good to have it to reference back so I know what I put in there during a screening or interview.

Thanks for sharing, Im trying to set up ny tracker to be like this.

I recently was let go (in lieu of accepting my two weeks) and I should have received my March expense check by the end of April per the employment agreement (submitted the report April 1, let go before mid April).

Hi, I had finished my technical and managerial round on May 25th and 26th with PWC. The manager did mention that there would be another in-person round in the PWC Bangalore office. Although the first 2 rounds went well, there has been no further response from HR. Is this a normal delay or should I think I didn't make it. Any thoughts?

I have a friend who was let go a few months into his first job after college (reason: the manager felt like he wasn't grasping the training content to the level that was expected). He's worried about if he should put the experience on his resume anyway, if he does will recruiters ask why he had such a short time at this place, and what will recruiters think if he explains he was let go. What are some things recruiters expect from candidates in this situation to continue considering them?
