It is Sunday evening, and a recruiter's name floats up in your memory. Did she write back? You open your inbox, then a browser tab, then an old note on your phone. Somewhere there is a job you applied for three weeks ago. You meant to follow up. You can't find the date.

Your stomach tightens a little. Tomorrow you have an interview, and you still can't recall which story you'd tell when they ask about a conflict at work. So you scroll again, and the evening slips away.

Once it's all in one place, the knot loosens. You see where each application stands, you know who to nudge this week, and you walk into the call with your stories ready.

What you get – real screenshots

Know where every application stands, and never miss a follow-up. One Excel workbook for your whole job search, so opportunities stop slipping through emails and browser tabs.

Who it is for

Job seekers and career changers who want a calm overview instead of a pile of tabs.

FAQ

What exactly is inside?

One Excel workbook with an application pipeline (500 rows, colour-coded status dropdowns), a contacts and networking log, a 40-question interview bank, a STAR stories sheet with two worked examples, an interview log and a dashboard. You also get a one-page Quick-Start PDF, a README and realistic sample data so you can see how it works.

Who is this for, and who is it not for?

It is for job seekers and career changers who want one calm overview instead of a pile of tabs and emails. It is not for you if you want automatic email or phone notifications (reminders show up inside the sheet), if you need an app or cloud sync, or if you expect a guaranteed job outcome. It is an organisation tool and cannot promise results.

How long does setup take?

There is nothing to install. Open the file, overwrite the first sample row with a real job, pick a status from the dropdown, and the reminder and dashboard fill in. The Start-here sheet and Quick-Start PDF walk you through it, and after that ten minutes a week is the idea.

Can I edit and customise it?

Yes. It is a normal Excel file with no macros, so you can replace the sample data, write your own answer notes and change the questions and stories to fit your search. The pipeline has 500 rows.

Which software do I need?

It is built for Microsoft Excel 2016 or newer, and it needs no internet connection. We also tested it in LibreOffice, where it opened and calculated correctly. Google Sheets and Apple Numbers have not been tested, so we can't promise it works there.

What if it doesn't help me?

You have a 30-day money-back promise: if it does not help, you get a full refund, no questions asked.
