Job Application Tracker and CV Template Bundle | Job Search Spreadsheet, Cover Letter, Interview Prep, Follow-Ups (Google Sheets, Word)

Seller's description

JOB HUNT BUNDLE: a job application tracker for Google Sheets and Excel, plus our matching UK CV and cover letter templates for Word and Google Docs. One download for a calm January job hunt: what you applied for, what to do next, who to follow up with, and a CV and letter to send.

WHAT'S INCLUDED
- Job Application Tracker in a UK edition (pounds, weeks start on Monday) and a US edition (dollars, US spelling, weeks start on Sunday)
- Four tracker colourways, each with an example copy and a blank copy
- UK CV Template and matching UK Cover Letter in Navy, Teal, Plum and Clay (.docx), the same design as our UK CV + Cover Letter Bundle
- A how-to guide PDF: the tracker tab by tab, a calm January plan, a follow-up note and a thank-you note, UK CV and cover letter rules, and both filled-in examples

FOUR COLOURWAYS FOR THE TRACKER, ALL INCLUDED
- Pastel: a soft pastel rainbow, each tab in its own pastel.
- Bright: bold, saturated colour blocks.
- Dark: deep navy with glowing accents, easy on the eyes.
- Earthy: sage, sand and terracotta.
The formulas are identical, so pick the look you like (or switch later).

THE TRACKER
- Applications: role, organisation, where you found it, date applied, stage, next action and its date, salary range, contact and notes, one line per job (room for 200)
- Ten stages from Saved and Applied to Offer, Accepted, Not selected and No reply; rename them if you like
- Follow-ups worked out for you: your next action date, or a nudge 7 days after you apply if you have not heard back (change the 7). Due now, Due soon and Planned, soonest first
- Pipeline dashboard: applications sent, still open, replies, response rate, interviews, offers and this week so far; counts by stage; response rate by where you found the job; two charts
- Interview prep: your interviews with date, time, format and prep status; four stories in situation, task, action, result; common questions with your notes; questions to ask them; an on-the-day list
- Weekly target: applications each week against a target you choose. Lighter week? Change that week's target. No streaks and no red: every week counts
- Clear the example: buttons on Start here select the example entries on each tab so you can delete them (or start from the blank copy)
- Colour means something: green is good news, amber is coming up, red is a follow-up due now, always with a word as well

THE CV AND COVER LETTER
- UK conventions: A4, a CV of two pages at most, a one-page letter, no photo, no date of birth
- ATS-friendly: one column of real text, standard Word headings, contact details in the page, no tables, text boxes or images
- Same name style, contact line and colour on both, so your application looks like a set
- Arial throughout, so they look the same on every computer and in Google Docs
- US buyers: the templates are A4; the guide shows how to switch them to US Letter

GOOGLE SHEETS, EXCEL, WORD AND GOOGLE DOCS
Tracker input cells (they have a coloured border) are yours to type in; everything else is worked out for you, so a stray click cannot break a formula (locked in Excel; Google Sheets asks before you edit a worked-out cell). No macros, nothing to enable. Works on a phone in the Google Sheets app; setting it up is easier on a laptop. The CV and letter are normal Word documents for Word 2016 or newer, Word for the web, Apple Pages or Google Docs.

HOW YOU GET IT
