Job Search Command Center — The Complete Google Sheets System for Running Your Job Search Like a Project

You're not disorganized. You just don't have a system built for a modern job search — one with enough applications in flight that you can't keep it all in your head.

This is that system. It's the full, deluxe version of the tracker featured in "How to Run Your Job Search" — built for anyone actively applying, interviewing, and networking who wants one dashboard that shows exactly where every opportunity stands.

WHAT'S INSIDE

📋 Applications Tracker
Track every opportunity across 20+ columns: company, role, source, status, interview stage, salary range, follow-up dates, contact info, job links, and notes — plus fields the free version doesn't have:
- Fit Score (1–5) so you instantly see which roles are worth your time
- Role Category & Priority so you can triage at a glance
- Work Type (remote/hybrid/onsite)
- Outcome Reason — so every rejection teaches you something instead of just stinging

📊 Live Dashboard
Auto-updating counts and a rolling trend chart: total applications, active pipeline, interviews, offers, response rate, plus breakdowns by status and by source — so you always know if you're under-applying, under-networking, or just waiting out a normal lag.

🤝 Networking & Referrals Log
A dedicated tracker for informational interviews, warm contacts, and referral leads — separate from formal applications, because most real opportunities start as a conversation, not a job posting.

🧠 Interview Reflection Prompts
Why I Want This Role, Dealbreakers, Interview Wins, Lessons Learned — four fields that turn every interview into data you can actually use next time, instead of a memory that fades in a week.

🎯 Weekly Goal Tracker
Set a weekly applications/outreach target and watch an 8-week trend line so you can tell the difference between "this is slow" and "I'm not doing enough."

WHO THIS IS FOR
Anyone job hunting who wants to run their search with the same rigor as a work project: track everything, see patterns, stop guessing.
