The modern job hunt is no longer about just submitting resumes and waiting. In today’s competitive market, managing your job applications well can be as important as preparing your resume. But how many people really do that?

When we ask job seekers how they track applications, most mention using Google Sheets or Notion. Some admit they don’t track anything at all, believing they’ll remember. But after applying for dozens of positions, it’s easy to forget which jobs you’ve applied for, which resume version you used, or whether you’ve followed up.

That’s where JobWizard’s Track feature comes in.

💡 Why it matters

A lightweight tracking tool might sound unimportant—but it’s the foundation of a smarter job-seeking process. Whether you’re a student, a job changer, or someone applying intensively, you’ll benefit from seeing the full picture of your efforts. Especially when it’s automatic.

With JobWizard Track, we automatically record every application action:

  • ✅ Applied
  • ✅ Autofilled
  • ✅ Viewed
  • ✅ Saved

There’s no need to manually record everything. You can always go back and see:

  • Which job you applied for and when
  • Which resume you used (we save the file)
  • How long it took to complete the application
  • Your match score and job link

It’s like your job search memory bank—so even if a recruiter replies a month later, you know exactly what you submitted.

👀 Beyond memory: Why tracking helps you win

Tracking isn’t just for staying organized. It can help you:

  • Review your application strategy
  • Identify resume versions that work better
  • Reflect on where you're wasting time
  • Prepare for interviews more efficiently

This is where JobWizard goes a step further than Excel. With the Analyze My Application History feature, you’ll soon be able to see patterns: which industries you apply to most, how your match scores trend, or which resumes yield higher interview rates.

🧠 Personalized notes & flexible edits

Click into any application and you can:

  • Edit the job title or company name
  • Add notes (e.g., “waiting for reply”, “interview on Friday”)
  • Mark important actions (e.g., “rejected”, “followed up”)

All of this can be done with just one click, without switching tools.

🔁 Auto-learning: Smarter autofill, version by version

Another benefit? JobWizard remembers your preferences.

Every time you adjust a generated answer, we remember it. Next time you see a similar question, you’ll get a more relevant default—without needing to update your profile. It’s continuous optimization, built in.

🪄 Light, intuitive, always with you

The Track module is part of the JobWizard extension. You don’t need to open a separate app or fill out any forms. As long as you’re using JobWizard to view or apply for jobs, your progress is saved and visualized for you—completely automatically.

How to use it

  1. Download the JobWizard Chrome Extension
  2. Register and upload your resume or LinkedIn URL
  3. Visit any job site (LinkedIn, Workday, Lever, etc.)
  4. Use JobWizard to autofill, save, or apply to jobs
  5. Click “Track” to view and edit your records anytime

Want to take control of your job search?

Tracking your progress isn’t extra work. It’s how smart job seekers apply with purpose.

Let JobWizard remember the details—so you can focus on the bigger picture.
