Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need Google Sheets to use this tracker?
Yes, a free Google account and a device that can access Google Sheets is required.
Will this work with Excel?
No, it's built specifically for Google Sheets.
How do I sort or filter my job applications in the tracker?
You can quickly organize your sheet without breaking anything:
- Sort: Click the dropdown arrow next to a column header (like “Priority” or “Salary”), then choose Sort column, then choose Sort A to Z or Sort Z to A. This rearranges your rows based on that column.
- Filter: From the same menu, select Filter column to show only certain values (for example, only “High Priority” applications).
Sorting and filtering won’t delete or change your data—it just changes how it’s displayed.
To reset your view: Clear any filters you’ve applied or select “Show all” from the filter menu to bring every row back into view.
Is this useful if I haven’t started applying yet?
Definitely. You can set it up now and hit the ground running.
