“I start managing the interview process from the first round because it's difficult to keep track of all the applications and screening calls.”
"I often forget when and where I applied until I get a rejection. I prefer not to reapply unless there’s a new update or a different position at the same company."
Heather
"I applied through LinkedIn, so I don’t have to track some jobs separately. But for others, like design studios, I have to manually manage applications and details in my Notes app."
I use LinkedIn Easy Apply a lot—it makes job applications easier and lowers the barrier to apply, but it’s hard to manage so many applications.

Need for Actionable Features Beyond Just Note-Taking
Job seekers need more than just an organized journal or notes for feedback and self-reflection on their interviews. They want to turn these insights and feedback into actionable features.

Need for a System to Track All Job Applications and Rejections (Unexpected Finding)
With applications spread across platforms, job seekers struggle to track where they’ve applied and been rejected. They prefer not to track them automatically—unless they’ve had at least one interview. Keeping track helps avoid unnecessary reapplications unless there’s a good reason to try again.
