Keeping a spreadsheet is such a good idea - during my last search I was talking to a dozen different companies initially, and it would have been impossible to keep on top of everything without some sort of organization.

I've got a big Trello from my most recent search. It's the perfect mix of flexible structure, ease of use, and easy to scan.

Why not have them both and use Notion? It allows you to flip between both views of the same data :)

Zero affiliation just a very happy user. As an example, here's my TV show tracker in both forms:

Think it needs a login

Those work for me on private browsing / it's set up to work for public viewing I think. What do you see when you try to click them?

years ago I went further and created a full web app to manage/track. it could manage email templates, send out emails with link tracking, had some ways to keep track of opportunities, let me keep multiple versions of a resume on hand, etc. Was moderately useful, as years before, I'd done 'spreadsheet' stuff, and that was painful. 3-4 weeks, 120+ outreaches, very few replies, etc.

Same. Especially if you’re also working your present job; all the recruiter calls and scheduling can get absolutely chaotic.
