As you go through the process of applying for jobs, it's easy to lose track of your progress. But you need to stay on top of where you've applied, what stage of the process you're in, etc. in order to keep your job search moving.
A job search log is a great way to keep track of all of your job search activities. With it, you can monitor the status of your applications and identify what next steps you need to take with each prospective employer.
Here are a couple of logs you can review to see which one works best for you.
