Printable Job Search Tracker (Free PDF)

Eight columns, filled in the order an application happens: the date you applied, the role, the company, where you found it, the contact or email address, the status, the date to follow up, and notes. Choose 18 rows, which leaves plenty of writing room, or 26 for a heavy search week. The sheet is landscape so company names and contact addresses fit without being cut off or wrapped onto a second line.

The follow-up column is the one that matters. Most applications go quiet, and the difference between an answer and silence is usually one polite message a week later. Writing the date down when you apply turns chasing into a scheduled task instead of a decision you have to make again every morning. The footnote keeps the status wording consistent: applied, screening, interview, offer, closed.

A target strip across the top holds the week, the number of applications sent, new contacts made, interviews and follow-ups done. A job search with a weekly number is easier to keep going than one measured by results you do not control. Every cell and every line is a PDF form field, so you can keep the sheet on a laptop and reprint it, or print it blank and fill it in by hand. US Letter or A4.
