Tracking Your Applications Maintaining a record of your applications is crucial for a well-organized job search. In many cases, there will be a time lapse between when you apply to a position and when you get a response. In some instances, this time lapse may be several weeks to a few months, so it is important to have a record of all the positions you have applied for. For example, you may be interested in applying for a different job opening at a company you have already applied to. In this case, you will need to have a record of the user name and password that you used to set up your initial application. Use the worksheet (or create your own spreadsheet) to record all the positions you apply to. You should have a record of the usernames, passwords, file names and other supporting documents to keep yourself organized. Remember to update your records each time you submit a new application or receive information concerning the status of a previously submitted application. If you are called to interview for a position, these records will assist in your interview preparation so that you may easily review the documents you previously submitted for consideration. JOB APPLICATION LOG —Please record each position you apply for. If you are called for an interview or you are checking the status of your application, this information will be very useful.
