Job application tracker list and dashboard

See every application in one place

FAFJ opens on Applications: everything you’ve saved or applied to, with its location, pay, the date you applied (the earliest date we have for the job), where you found it, its status and when it last changed. It starts in company order, A to Z. Click any column heading to sort by it, and again to reverse it; FAFJ remembers the order you chose on this device. On a phone, tap Filters, pick an order (“Company, A to Z”, “Recently applied” and so on) and tap ⇅ to reverse it. Sorting by Status puts the furthest along first (or the earliest stage), with Rejected, Withdrawn and Ghosted always at the bottom. Once you’ve analyzed jobs with Match, a Fit column shows each one’s fit, to sort or filter by. Change a status right from the list, search by company, role or recruiter, and tick rows to archive or delete several at once. Tick Archived to see the ones you archived (a line at the top says so, with Back to active); tick any and click Unarchive to bring them back. The same job saved twice (from LinkedIn and from the company’s site, say)? Tick one, or both, and click Merge: the one you keep takes the other’s timeline, people, files, notes and any detail it was missing, and for 5 days Activity can bring the other job back with Restore. The extension tells you when a job you save is already on your board, and when it looks like one you have. A job you saved but have not applied to has an Apply button under its status. On Pro, Sync now checks your mail and calendar right away instead of waiting for the next check.

Merge a job saved twice

Saved the same job twice, from LinkedIn and from the company’s site, say? In Applications, tick one of them and click Merge. Your other jobs at the same company are listed first; or type any company, role or location to search all your applications, archived ones too. Pick the other one. (Tick both and click Merge to skip the search.)

Then choose the one to keep. FAFJ picks the one that is further along, or the older one, but you can change it. Click Merge and the one you keep takes the other’s timeline, people, files and notes, and any detail it was missing, like pay, location or the description. The furthest status and the earliest applied date win. Merged the wrong one? Click Restore on it in Settings, under Activity within 5 days.

The extension watches for this too. When a job you save looks like one you already have, it says so and offers to merge them.

Watch your search at a glance

The dashboard shows how many applications are active and how many reached an interview or offer. Below that, Coming up lists what’s next and Recent activity shows what just happened, each labeled with what it was (a rejection, an interview, an email) and where it came from (your email, your calendar, the extension, or you). Sort it newest first, oldest first, by company or by type. The calendar puts every interview, call and next step from all your applications in one view, by month, week or day; tap one to open its application. Applications that have gone quiet show under it.

Probably ghosted

An application that is Applied or Screening with no emails, meetings or changes for 2 months shows under Probably ghosted on your dashboard, and its own page shows a banner: “No word from the company in 2 months. Mark as ghosted?”

1. Click Mark ghosted to move it to Ghosted. Its timeline and Settings → Activity record the change, like any other status change.
2. Still hoping? Click Still waiting. It leaves the dashboard and the banner until another 2 months go by with no word.

Change how long to wait in Settings → Account, under Suggest Ghosted after no word for: from 2 weeks to 6 months, or Never to turn it off.
