⛱️ DAY 19: Application tracker: why you should use it ⛱️

Welcome back! Today, we're going to introduce you to a valuable strategy to keep track of all your role searching items. We call this the tracker sheet, and we are about to tell you why you should be using it. Let's do it!

Put 30 seconds on the clock...

⛱️ Why you should be using a tracker ⛱️

1. It will help you keep track of loose ends... that can make or break whether you get a role

We’ve previously talked about how much companies value great communicators. This tracker can help you stay on top of your communication.

2. It can be overwhelming to apply to so many roles (and reach out to lots of people for informational interviews) with no central place to keep track of your efforts

Your tracker provides a place to put your thoughts on paper (well, digital paper) so that you don’t have to use up your mental energy in keeping track of it all.

3. Your tracker gives you a visual way to see how your efforts are going: you might be doing much better than you think!

Applying to internships and jobs can be a stressful process where you might feel like you aren’t making progress. However, you might very well be making progress and your tracker allows you to see it.

4. You’re building a habit that can be helpful in many other aspects of life: learning how to navigate a complex process

By using a tracker to navigate the application process, you’re learning how to take a complex process and keep it organized. This skill can be applied to other facets of your life (ie: applying to college, keeping track of expenses, etc.) 

If you want to understand more of the reasons on why to use a tracker, then please visit this post. We will see you all tomorrow where we will teach you how to build your trackers!
