I wanted to build something that kept all the details of a specific job application in one place, while giving me an overview of the status of all my applications.

I found Trello to be a nightmare to organize and structure with lots of data. Spreadsheets were too messy for me.

The best solution I found was creating a note (using Evernote or Bear) for each job application.

I’d paste question/answers to the online questionnaire lots of companies have you fill out so I can A) reference the questions in the interview or cover letter, and B) have some snippets to reuse in other applications. I’d add all relevant links, if I knew someone at the company, etc. This was great for keeping info in one place but didn’t give me the overview of all applications I needed.
