The details you will wish you saved later.
A useful tracker does more than count applications. The blank file includes the columns below, plus a private job-description snapshot link and notes. Keep one row for each distinct job ID—even when the employer name repeats.
Know which opportunity this row represents.
Distinguish similar openings and find the original listing.
Keep evidence of when and where you submitted.
Record the file actually sent—not the one you intended to send.
Separate portal labels from real employer communication.
Turn the record into a plan instead of an archive.
A two-minute routine for each application.
- 01Before applying
Save the job ID, posting URL, and the resume version you plan to send.
- 02At submission
Record the actual filename, application date, and any confirmation ID or receipt.
- 03After contact
Update the status, last-contact date, and one specific next action. Do not guess why an employer has not replied.
Open the CSV in Google Sheets, Excel, or another spreadsheet. Store it where you control access, and make a backup. If you prefer an interactive browser tool, use the free application tracker instead.
Keep the file useful, not sensitive.
The download is a blank CSV with headers only. Jobsistant does not receive what you type into your own copy. Your spreadsheet provider or device controls where the file is stored, so check its sharing settings. Do not add passwords, government IDs, bank details, identity-document copies, or voluntary demographic answers.
Questions about the tracker template.
Yes. Download the CSV and import or open it in Google Sheets, Excel, or another spreadsheet. The blank file contains column names only; no account or email is required to download it.
No. This is a standalone spreadsheet template. Jobsistant helps with repeated application fields on supported forms; this CSV does not automatically import into the product.
Do not put passwords, government identifiers, bank details, identity-document copies, or sensitive voluntary demographic answers in a general tracker. Protect the file wherever you choose to store it.
