Job Application Tracker LazyApply

Why Tracking Your Job Applications Matters More Than Ever

Look, job searching today isn’t just about sending out resumes and hoping for the best. In the USA, with so many candidates applying to dozens or even hundreds of roles, staying organized is key. From our experience, missing a follow-up or forgetting which role you applied to can cost you real opportunities.

Our platform at LazyApply steps in as your personal job application tracker. It not only automates applications but keeps detailed records of every step so you never lose track. This means you can focus on preparing for interviews instead of juggling spreadsheets.

Honestly, this kind of automation is a game changer for anyone serious about landing a job faster.

Getting Started: Setting Up Your Job Application Tracker

To start, you’ll need to register with your Gmail account. It might sound like an extra step, but since most job communications come through email, this integration keeps everything synced.

Once logged in, you’ll build your profile(s). Our platform lets you create multiple personas — like one for tech roles and another for management — so applications fit each job perfectly.

Step-by-step Profile Setup

1. Enter your personal contact details and geographic preferences
2. Upload your resumes and cover letters for different roles
3. Fill in work history with measurable achievements
4. Specify salary expectations and visa status if applicable
5. Add technical skills and certifications

The more precise you are here, the better our AI auto-fills applications and selects relevant jobs for you.
