Using a Tracker to Organize your Job Search

Sometimes in order to get a job, you have to submit 50-100 applications, and tracking that can be exhausting.  Spreadsheets can be helpful ways to organize all the info you need in order to do follow up calls and stay on top of your job hunt: check out this sample job application tracker, or build one of your own!
