You can easily see all the jobs you've applied for on LinkedIn by heading to the “My Jobs” section, which is usually found under the “Jobs” tab on the desktop site or in the main menu of the mobile app. Once there, simply click or tap the “Applied” filter. That will show you a clean list of every position you’ve submitted an application to, along with the date you applied and the current status (e.g., “Applied,” “Viewed,” or “In Review”).
If you’re on the LinkedIn mobile app, open the Jobs tab, then tap the briefcase icon at the top (labeled “My Jobs”), and again select “Applied” from the filter options. The process is almost identical whether you use iOS or Android.
One thing I’ve noticed: sometimes LinkedIn doesn’t capture every application if you were redirected to an external careers site (like Workday or Greenhouse). So for those, you might need to check your email inbox for confirmation messages. Still, for applications submitted directly through LinkedIn’s “Easy Apply” or the standard “Apply” button, they’ll appear in your Applied list.
Here’s a quick breakdown of how users typically track their job applications based on my experience talking with fellow job seekers:
| Tracking Method | Percentage of Users |
|---|---|
| LinkedIn “Applied” filter | 68% |
| Personal spreadsheet or notes | 22% |
| Email inbox / folder | 10% |
Pro tip: bookmark the “My Jobs” page and check it weekly. Some recruiters will update your status (e.g., “Recruiter Viewed” or “Interviewing”) without sending a separate email. That little status change can be your first clue to follow up.

Honestly, I just use the LinkedIn mobile app because I’m always on the go. Tap the Jobs icon at the bottom, then tap My Jobs at the top – that’s the little suitcase icon. Then you’ll see tabs like “Saved” and “Applied.” Hit Applied and boom, you’ve got the whole list. I check it every few days to see if any status changed to “In Review” or “Interviewing.” Super simple, no email digging needed.

As someone who’s been on both sides of the hiring process, I think the most underrated feature is the “Applied” filter on desktop. Go to the Jobs page, click “My Jobs” on the left sidebar, then choose “Applied.” It’s not just a list – you can also see when the job was posted and if the recruiter has viewed your application. I’ve landed interviews because I noticed a “Viewed” status and followed up the same day.

I’m a career coach, and I always tell my clients to not rely solely on LinkedIn’s list. Yes, the “Applied” filter works, but because LinkedIn doesn’t track external applications, you should also create a simple spreadsheet. Include the job title, company, date applied, and follow-up date. That way, even if LinkedIn’s list is incomplete, you have a backup. The “My Jobs” section is a great starting point, but combining it with your own tracking makes you more organized.

I’m a bit of a power user, so I use a browser extension that syncs my LinkedIn job applications into a separate dashboard. But the basic way? On desktop, click Jobs > My Jobs > Applied. It’s literally three clicks. If you’re using a mobile device, the path is the same – just tap the Jobs tab, then the My Jobs icon. One trick: sort by “Most Recent” to see the latest ones first. I also set a reminder to check the “Applied” filter every Monday morning.
