Job hunting with Apple Notes is something that kicked off last year so that I could keep a record of everything I had applied for (believe me, you need to keep track of it all). I looked at other solutions maybe using a third party app or using Apple Numbers but I ended up settling as I thought I would on Apple Notes.
First off I created a new FOLDER called ‘Job Hunting’, which would contain all of the relevant notes like interview notes etc…
I then created my NOTE called ‘Job Hunting Diary’ that contained a simple table containing the following columns
- Date Applied
- Company Name
- Role
- Any follow up? (links etc)
- Status (date and update e.g. 09/02/2021, been put through to the second stage process)
This note was then pinned, so that it appeared at the top of my notes on whatever device I was using.
This has been great at tracking the various roles I’ve applied for and I use it multiple times a day. There are some downsides around formatting flexibility and sorting (you can’t) but for I like the simplicity of it’s always in sync without me having to do anything.
