Job Search Tracker — Applications + Networking + Prep

Job searches don’t fail from too few applications — they fail from forgotten follow-ups, lost interview notes and contacts you meant to message three weeks ago. The Job Search Tracker is a complete Notion build blueprint (PDF guide, not a duplicate link) with four linked databases — Applications, Contacts (a real networking CRM), Interview Prep and Offers — plus the formula most trackers leave to memory: a Follow-Up Flag that fires 10 days after you apply and 7 days after a screening call, feeding an Act Today dashboard view that is your morning work list. Build it yourself in about 35 minutes from exact specifications — every property, relation, rollup and formula in full — so the system lives in your workspace under your control. Track which resume version went where; log every interview’s questions the same day so round 3 prep starts from round 1’s notes; keep every contact’s next-touch date in front of you; and when offers land, compare them on Year-1 Total Comp (base + signing + bonus + equity, calculated for you) instead of base salary alone. Verify your build against the included sample applications — the flags and the $120,000 total-comp check must match exactly — then delete the samples and load your real search. Inside the PDF (11 pages): Start Here; build checklist; Dashboard spec; one chapter per database; Sample Data & expected results; morning/after-interview/weekly workflows; FAQ. Works on Notion’s free plan; you will need a free Notion account and about 35 minutes. Organization tool only.
