Free job application tracker template
A free job application tracker template for Excel and Google Sheets: a formatted board with Status and Work type dropdowns, an auto-filling "days waiting" column, interview rounds, follow-ups, and contacts. Download it, or skip the spreadsheet entirely.
What is in the template
- Company, Role, Location, Work type
- The basics you sort and filter by. Work type is a dropdown.
- Job posting URL
- The listing often disappears after a few weeks. Save it now.
- Date applied, Source
- Tells you which channels actually convert.
- Status
- A dropdown: Wishlist, Applied, Interviewing, Offer, Rejected, On hold.
- Job match score (out of 10)
- Your own read on fit, so you can prioritize follow-ups.
- Next action, Next action by
- The single most useful pair. What is on you, and by when.
- Interview round, Interview date
- One row per round so nothing collides.
- Contact, Salary range, Notes
- Who to chase, and context for comparing offers later.
- Days waiting
- Fills in automatically: days since you applied.
Or skip the spreadsheet
jobwyre has these columns built in, plus a real interview calendar you can subscribe to, a reminder before each round, and an MCP connection so Claude or ChatGPT can keep the board current. Free to start, no card.
Template FAQ
How do I use this template?
In Excel, just open the file. In Google Sheets, use File then Open then Upload and pick the file: the formatting, dropdowns, and the days-waiting formula all carry over. Then delete the three shaded example rows and add your own.
Is the template free?
Yes, completely free, no email required. Download it and use it however you like.
When should I move off the spreadsheet?
Once you have interview loops running in parallel. A spreadsheet has no calendar, no reminders before interviews, and nothing your AI assistant can update. That is the point where jobwyre saves you time.
