Keep Follow-Up Dates for Your Job Applications

Resume & career100% freePrivate

The short answer

Set a follow-up date when you apply, and the tracker shows applications whose date has come at the top whenever you open the page. It does not send reminders, so make opening it part of your morning. Mark the status when a company replies.

Add an application

A week or two after you apply is polite.

Nothing here yet. Add each job or internship you apply for, and update where it stands as things move. You will always know what to follow up on.

Frequently asked questions

How many follow-ups are too many?

One or two. After that, move on, because a company that is interested will usually reply to the first.

What should a follow-up say?

Two or three lines: your name, the role you applied for and when, and a polite request for an update. The email templates tool has a ready one to edit.
