What's Included
Company, Role, Date Applied, Status, Source, Resume Version, Recruiter, Recruiter Email, Salary, Follow-Up Date, Notes.
=ARRAYFORMULA(IF(C2:C='','',C2:C+7)) puts the follow-up date in column J automatically. No manual date math.
Status column auto-colors: green for offers, blue for interview rounds, red for rejected. One glance and you know where the search stands.
Auto-counts: applications per week, response rate, time-to-response by company size, top-performing job sources. Sanity check on the search.
Sheet design is single-column-friendly so the Google Sheets mobile app actually shows the rows readably on a phone.
Past 25 active applications, the manual update habit decays. We tell you when to graduate to the auto-logging tracker — and the CSV export from Sheets imports straight in.
