THE SPREADSHEET

Applications, outreach, contacts, interviews, STAR stories, target companies, weekly plan and offer comparison sheets, with a Dashboard that calculates applications sent, follow-ups due, response and interview rates and a stage funnel with charts. Provided as XLSX files. See compatibility details below.

COMPATIBILITY AND USE

XLSX files designed for Excel and Google Sheets. Both tracker files have been imported into Google Sheets and checked for representative dashboard calculations, stage changes, follow-up alerts and blank entries. All 11 tabs, dropdown validations and three charts were retained in those imports. LibreOffice opening and recalculation have also been checked. Native Microsoft Excel, Apple Numbers and specific tablet apps have not been independently verified.

Google Sheets import may remove Dashboard protection or change chart styling. Avoid typing over Dashboard calculations. Review File > Settings for your local timezone and date preferences. Use the included PDF workbooks for printing; spreadsheet print layouts may split charts across pages.

The PDFs are printable, not fillable forms. Handwrite on paper or annotate in an app that supports PDF markup; type in the spreadsheet. Software and devices are not included. A Google account is needed to use Google Sheets.

GOOD TO KNOW

- Instant digital download; nothing is shipped.

- The PDF isn't a fillable form. Print it or write on it in a tablet note-taking app, and type in the spreadsheet.

- No outcome is guaranteed, and it isn't legal, financial or career advice. All examples are fictional.

- One personal-use licence per purchaser. You may download, edit, save and print copies for yourself, and share completed personal documents with employers, recruiters or other intended recipients. Do not resell, sublicense, publicly distribute or share purchased source templates, workbooks, spreadsheets or download links with other users. All rights required by applicable law are preserved.
