Have you ever wondered how, why, of if you should keep track of the job applications you've filled out? If you have ever filled out a lot, or sent in a lot, then this app can most certainly help you.
Just imagine these scenarios: 😧
- You wonder, have I already applied here before? If so, when? And what happened?
- You get a call about an application you've sent out, but cannot remember applying.
- You applied to a job, and had a friend recommend you, but you aren't sure which friend it was.
- You have to report places you've applied to while on Unemployment. How to I gather all that information?
- You want to do more with your favorite applications, but wish there was a way to keep track of your favorite places.
🙀 YIKES 😱
Well, now with Job Tracker, you won't have to worry about any of these situations. Not only does it make you look 💩 bad, but it also can hurt your chances of landing that job.
