To see the jobs you’ve applied to on LinkedIn, open the Jobs tab at the top of your homepage, then click My Jobs on the left sidebar. From there, select the Applied filter – it shows every application you’ve submitted, including the date and current status. This is the quickest way, but if you’ve applied a while ago or used a different device, you might need to double-check your settings.
I’ve found that LinkedIn sometimes hides older applications under the Saved or Archived sections if you’ve accidentally moved them. To avoid missing anything, I always keep a personal log of my applications in a spreadsheet. Another tip: use the Search bar within the My Jobs page to filter by company name or job title – it’s much faster than scrolling through dozens of entries. If you’re on the mobile app, tap the Jobs icon at the bottom, then your profile picture in the top-left, and choose My Jobs from the menu. The layout is slightly different, but the Applied tab works the same way.
One common issue is that LinkedIn may not show applications you made through external career portals (like the company’s own site). In that case, check your email inbox for confirmation messages. For a complete overview, I recommend combining LinkedIn’s built-in tracker with a simple spreadsheet that includes the job title, company, and date applied. This method also helps you keep track of follow‑up actions and interview invitations. Below is a quick reference table for the main steps:
| Step | Action (Desktop) | Action (Mobile) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Click Jobs on the top menu | Tap Jobs icon at bottom |
| 2 | Select My Jobs from the left sidebar | Tap your profile picture → My Jobs |
| 3 | Click the Applied filter | Tap the Applied tab |
| 4 | Scroll or use the search bar to find specific entries | Same as desktop |
Following these steps will give you a full picture of your job‑search history on LinkedIn. If you still can’t see an application, try clearing your browser cache or logging out and back in – sometimes a simple refresh fixes the display.

I mostly use the LinkedIn mobile app, and the trick is to go to the Jobs tab, then tap the My Jobs button at the top of the screen. After that, swipe left or right on the tabs to find Applied. It’s not always obvious because the tabs can be hidden under a “More” button when the screen is narrow. Also, make sure your app is updated – older versions didn’t show the Applied filter clearly. I’ve missed a few applications because of that glitch.

Honestly, I found the LinkedIn interface confusing at first. The My Jobs page is the key, but if you’re like me and applied through a job alert email, those applications sometimes don’t appear in the Applied list. The workaround is to check your LinkedIn Messages for any recruiter replies or automated confirmations. Also, clicking the “Show more filters” inside My Jobs and selecting Date applied can help you sort recent ones. It’s a bit hidden, but once you know, it’s straightforward.

I rely on the Saved Jobs feature to track what I’ve applied for. When I submit an application, I immediately save the job posting to a custom list called “Applied.” That way I can see everything in one place without relying on LinkedIn’s often buggy Applied filter. Another trick: use the Job Search page and filter by “Date posted” to see recent openings you might have applied to – cross‑reference with your email confirmations. This method gives me a backup view and reduces anxiety about missing entries.

For a more robust approach, I use a browser extension like Huntr or Simplify that automatically tracks applications across LinkedIn and other sites. They sync with your LinkedIn profile and show you a dashboard of all submitted jobs, including status updates. But be careful – some extensions require read permissions, so only use ones with good reviews and clear privacy policies. LinkedIn’s native tool is fine for most, but if you apply to 20+ jobs a week, a third‑party tracker saves time and prevents duplicates.
