A Simple Job Application Tracker

This is a simple desktop application to help you track your applications and create personalised CVs and cover letters. All of your information is stored locally on your PC.

Motivation

When applying for my summer 2022 internship, I used an Excel sheet to track my applications. This was perfect for tracking details such as application links, status and job description. However, there were features that I wanted in addition a spreadsheet.

  1. A way to generate customised CVs and cover letters for each application. By catering to the specific requirement of the company, I believed that my application would be more likely to succeed.
  2. A place to store information about my application. This includes, screenshots of job descriptions, current action items and progress. This is especially important when dealing with a large volume of applications. In one of my interviews, I could not find the job description on the day before the interview as it was taken down. This severely hurt my chances in this interview.
