About

Job Log is created and operated by 1 person! By trade, I am a software engineer, who is currently unemployed. I'm on my own personal job search, but I started Job Log as a way to learn the latest and greatest NextJS and Vercel features. I'd been previously tracking all my job applications via Excel, but wanted something a little cleaner to see the status of my applications^[1]. I also use it to track my jobs to submit for unemployment claims in WA state.

If you would like to keep using Job Log and are interested in receiving e-mail updates, please email joblogservice@gmail.com. I expect myself to send out feature updates / announcements, but also as a channel to respond to any feedback or feature requests. I promise I won't spam.

Feel free to follow along on my Ko-fi as well. I will be posting announcements / updates there.

1: I personally find spreadsheets clunky and hard to use

Take a Peek Into the Future Roadmap

Note: Keep in mind that what I plan to build will be tailored to the software / tech application process. I have very little experience interviewing in other industries. Open to hear about how this might be different for other application processes!

Everything I build, I use. This helps inform me on what to build next. Top of mind items include:

Accessibility!
Make the mobile experience smooth like butter
Expand on 'Interviews' as a first-class citizen

Includes scheduling (e.g. calendar integration + view scheduling conflicts)

Expand on 'Offers'

Track the amount of time an application → offer took

Basic Table Controls

Settings to control the display of your table columns
Search and filter
Sortable columns

Farther out, I would love to explore:

Integrations and syncing with external application sites (e.g. LinkedIn)
Maybe a dedicated mobile app and teach myself React Native (or something similar)
Among many other things!
