Below are detailed instructions on how to use the template.
Application Tracker tab
The first/main tab in the template is for keeping track of potential employers and applications.
Rather than having to remember when you submitted your applications for each job, the sheet will tell you this, and will also tell you how many days have passed since applying / interviewing, so you will know when it’s time to follow up. The sheet will also highlight any dates that are “Today”.
Rather than trying to remember where to apply and who to call about the job, you’ll have it all recorded and ready to use in the tracker.

Employment Companies / Websites tab
The second tab in this template will allow you to keep track of job search websites, and staffing agencies that you find. This will make it easy to keep track of this type of information in a different tab than the actual applications / employers.

- Click the “Employment Companies / Websites” tab
- Enter the name of the company, and any relevant information that is needed such as a contact name, phone number, or usernames and passwords that you may need for the company/ website. Only enter your password in the sheet if you are comfortable doing so.
