Build a Job Application Tracker and Organizer for Students

Create a platform that helps students organize job applications, track statuses (applied, interviewing, rejected, accepted), manage interview schedules, and receive smart reminders for better career planning.

Understanding the Challenge

Job hunting is stressful, especially when students apply for multiple opportunities at once. Managing application statuses, interview dates, deadlines, and follow-ups can get overwhelming. A job application tracker provides a centralized, visual way to stay organized and proactive.

The Smart Solution: Career Management Dashboard

Develop a web/mobile app where students can add job applications, categorize them by status, set interview reminders, save company details, attach resumes/cover letters, and receive actionable notifications to improve their job search workflow and chances of success.

Key Benefits of Implementing This System

Application Status Tracking

Organize applications into categories like Applied, Interviewing, Offer Received, Rejected for better visualization and management.

Deadline and Reminder System

Set application deadlines, interview dates, and receive smart reminders to never miss opportunities.

Document and Notes Management

Attach resumes, cover letters, and interview notes to each application entry for easy reference and preparation.

Career Progress Analytics

Generate insights like number of applications sent, response rate, offer rate, and visualize overall career search progress.

How the Job Application Tracker Works

Users create a profile, add job applications with fields like company name, position, applied date, status, interview date, attached documents, and personal notes. Application cards are organized into a Kanban-style board or tabular list with search and filter options.

  • Users sign up and create a profile.
  • Applications are added manually or imported via LinkedIn job exports (optional).
  • Each application entry includes fields for job details, resume links, deadlines, interview dates, and notes.
  • Status updates (e.g., Interview Scheduled, Offer Received) move the application through different stages visually.
  • Smart reminders notify users about upcoming interviews, deadlines, or tasks like sending follow-up emails.
