Absolutely, you can easily see the jobs you’ve applied for on LinkedIn. The key is to use the “My Jobs” feature, which is a dedicated section that acts as your personal job application tracker. This tool is available on both the desktop website and the LinkedIn mobile app.
To find it on a desktop, look at the top navigation bar. Click on the “Jobs” icon, which looks like a briefcase. Once you’re on the Jobs homepage, you’ll see a menu on the left-hand side. The second option from the top is “My Jobs.” Click on that. This section aggregates all your job-seeking activity. By default, it shows you “Saved Jobs,” but you need to filter for what you have actually applied to. Directly above the list of jobs, you’ll see a set of filter tabs. Click on the “Applied” tab. This will instantly filter the view to show only the positions where you have submitted an application.
On the mobile app, the process is very similar. Tap the “Jobs” icon at the bottom of the screen. Then, tap “My Jobs” at the top of the Jobs page. You’ll then see the same filter tabs: “Saved,” “Applied,” and “Archived.” Tap “Applied” to see your list.
A really useful feature here is the status column. Each job listing in your “Applied” folder will show its current status, which LinkedIn updates based on the recruiter’s activity. You might see “Applied,” “Viewed by recruiter,” or even “Not selected.” This gives you a clear, real-time overview of where you stand. I’ve found this to be much more reliable than trying to track applications through email confirmations, which often get lost in spam folders. Below is a quick breakdown of what you’ll typically see in the status column:
| Status Label | Meaning |
|---|
| Applied | Your application has been submitted successfully. |
| Viewed by Recruiter | The recruiter or hiring manager has opened your profile or application. |
| Not Selected | The company has moved forward with other candidates. |
| Interviewing | The company has indicated you are a candidate for an interview. |
This system is a powerful tool for managing your job hunt. It keeps your pipeline organized and helps you avoid wasting time on applications that have already been closed or rejected. So, in short, head to the Jobs tab > My Jobs > Applied filter, and you’ll have your complete list.
