How to use the board
- Add jobs you want to apply for to Wishlist, with the link to the job post so you can find it again after it closes on the job site.
- When you apply, move the card to Applied. The date applied is filled in for you if it is empty.
- Set a follow-up date on every card you are waiting on. Cards turn amber when that date arrives and are listed in the follow-up strip.
- Record the next step and the recruiter’s contact after every call, so nothing depends on memory.
- Move closed or rejected roles to the last column instead of deleting them; they still count toward your response rate.
Making a job search easier to manage
- Tailor each application. A resume matched to the job post usually does better than many identical applications.
- Write down the salary or CTC range discussed at each stage; it makes comparing offers and negotiating much simpler.
- Review the board once a week. If many cards sit in Applied with no reply, change the resume before sending more.
- Export a CSV at the end of your search to keep a record of where you applied and who you spoke to.
