How Can I See My Applied Jobs on LinkedIn in 2026?

To see your applied jobs on LinkedIn, go to your profile and click the “Jobs” tab in the top menu, then select “My Jobs” from the dropdown. On the next page, you’ll see a section called “Applied” that lists every job you’ve submitted an application for, sorted by date. This feature is available on both desktop and mobile. If you’re using the LinkedIn app, tap the “Jobs” icon at the bottom, then tap “My Jobs” and filter by “Applied.”

I’ve been using this feature for years, and it’s straightforward once you know where to look. The “Applied” tab also shows the status of each application—like “Applied,” “Viewed,” or “Rejected”—so you can track your progress without digging through your email. LinkedIn automatically saves your application history for up to 90 days, but if you applied through an external company site, it might not show up here. To capture those, I recommend manually adding a note in the “Notes” section of the job posting before you click “Apply” externally.

One thing I’ve learned: LinkedIn’s “My Jobs” page is a goldmine for organizing your search. You can sort by date, company, or job title, and even set reminders for follow-ups. For example, after I apply, I immediately tag the job with a color (green for “strong interest,” yellow for “waiting,” red for “no response”) using the “Add note” button. This helps me prioritize which companies to reach out to next. If you’re applying to dozens of roles, this system saves hours of manual tracking.

Here’s a quick reference table I’ve built based on my own experience and common LinkedIn patterns:

Application Status	What It Means	Typical Next Step
Applied	Submitted successfully	Wait 1–2 weeks
Viewed	Recruiter opened your profile	Send a follow-up message
Rejected	Not selected	Review and adjust resume
No status	Not updated yet	Check again in 3 days

Remember, LinkedIn’s job tracker isn’t perfect—sometimes statuses don’t update, especially for roles that hire internally. In that case, I cross-reference with my own spreadsheet. But for most users, the “Applied” section is the quickest way to see everything in one place.

I always go to the “Jobs” tab on my LinkedIn homepage, then click “My Jobs” and select “Applied.” It’s right there. But I’ve noticed that if you applied through a third-party site, it won’t appear. So I keep a simple list in my phone’s notes app. Honestly, the LinkedIn tracker is okay, but I’ve had applications disappear after a few weeks. I now screenshot every confirmation page and save it in a folder. That way, I never lose track of where I’ve shot my resume.

On mobile, it’s even easier: tap the “Jobs” icon (bottom of the screen), then “My Jobs,” and “Applied.” I check this every Monday morning to see which ones have been viewed. LinkedIn’s update is pretty reliable for me, but I’ve had a few where the status stayed “Applied” for months. I’ve learned to ignore the status and just follow up directly with the recruiter after two weeks. That’s the real trick for getting responses.

I’ve been job hunting for six months, and the “My Jobs” section is my lifeline. I filter by “Applied” and then sort by “Most Recent” to see the newest ones. One hidden feature: you can click the three dots next to any application and select “Archive” to clean up old ones. I archive every rejected job immediately so I only see active leads. Also, LinkedIn sends email alerts when a recruiter views your application—make sure your notifications are on for that.

You can also access your applied jobs from the “Notifications” bell icon. Any job you applied to generates a notification that you can tap to revisit the posting. But that list gets messy. I prefer the “My Jobs” under the “Jobs” tab. For advanced tracking, I use the “Saved” section alongside “Applied” to compare jobs I’m interested in vs. ones I’ve actually applied to. I’ve been using this method for two years and it’s never failed me—just don’t forget to refresh the page after each application.
