Overview
Log each job one time, and the tracker keeps the rest of your search organized. Every application gets a card on a pipeline board, a follow-up date a week after you apply, and a place in your stats, including which job boards actually write back.
When interviews start, record the questions and your thank-you notes, then compare up to three offers on total pay and pay per hour after time off. Helpful for new grads, career changers and anyone returning to work.
Follow-ups on time
A reminder is set 7 days after you apply and turns red when due.

Questions
How do I track job applications in a spreadsheet?
Add one row per job on the Applications tab. This template builds the pipeline board, follow-up reminders and dashboard from those rows.
When should I follow up on a job application?
The tracker sets a follow-up 7 days after the date you applied and turns it red when that day arrives.
Can it compare job offers?
Yes. The Offers tab compares up to 3 offers by total pay, including bonus, 401(k) match and insurance, and by pay per hour after PTO.
Do I need Excel?
No. It works in Google Sheets with a free Google account, on a computer, tablet or phone. It also opens in Microsoft Excel, and Apple Numbers can open the Excel file.
How it's made: designed by Sorted Templates. We use AI tools to help draft text and lay out pages, and every page is reviewed and edited by us before it's listed. Lifestyle and mockup images may be AI-generated or AI-edited; the page previews show the actual files.
