Free job application tracker
JobOS tracks every job application for free, with no limit on any plan. Each application moves through clear stages, keeps the resume version you sent, and reminds you when it is time to follow up. If you would rather keep a spreadsheet, download the free template below.
What does the JobOS tracker do?
- Jobs JobOS finds for you, and jobs you save with the Chrome extension or a pasted link, can go straight into your tracker. There is nothing to copy across.
- Each application keeps the tailored resume or your own resume you attached, so you know exactly what the employer saw.
- Follow-up reminders appear in your dashboard, and on Telegram if you turn it on.
- Tracking is unlimited on Free and Pro. You never pay to keep your history.
Which stages does it use?
- SavedRoles you want to look at properly later.
- TailoringYou are adapting your resume or cover letter for this one.
- Ready to applyDocuments done, application not sent yet.
- AppliedSent, with the date and the resume version you used.
- Recruiter screenA first call or screening questions.
- Technical interviewSkills tests, case studies, technical rounds.
- Final interviewThe last round before a decision.
- OfferAn offer to weigh up.
- Rejected, ghosted, withdrawn or skippedClosed out, so your active list stays short and honest.
Using the spreadsheet template
The template is a plain CSV file, so it opens in Google Sheets (File, then Import), Excel or Numbers. It has one example row to delete. These are the columns and why each one earns its place:
| Column | Why it is there |
|---|---|
| Company, Role, Job link | So you can find the listing again after it is taken down. |
| Source | MyCareersFuture, LinkedIn, a referral. Over time this shows where your interviews really come from. |
| Match (1-5) | Your own rough fit rating, so you spend effort on the best roles first. |
| Status and Date applied | Where each application stands and how long it has been. |
| Resume version | Which tailored resume went out, so you can prepare for the interview with the same one. |
| Contact name and email | The recruiter or hiring manager, if you know them. |
| Next follow-up | The date to send a polite nudge. About a week after applying is a common rule of thumb. |
| Salary range (SGD/month) | Advertised pay, so you can compare offers on the same basis. |
When is a spreadsheet enough?
A spreadsheet works well for a handful of applications. It starts to strain when you apply to dozens of roles: statuses drift, follow-ups get forgotten, and you lose track of which resume went where. That is the point where a tracker that fills itself in saves real time.
