How to Find Jobs Applied for on LinkedIn in 2026?

The easiest way to see every job you’ve applied for on LinkedIn is to click the “Jobs” icon in the top navigation bar, then select “My Jobs” from the dropdown menu. On the next page, switch to the “Applied” tab — that’s your complete list of submitted applications, sorted by date. If you don’t see it, make sure you’re logged into your account and using the latest version of LinkedIn (either desktop or mobile).

I’ve been job hunting for three months now, and I honestly didn’t find this feature until last week. It’s tucked away, but once you know where it is, it’s a lifesaver. Here’s a quick breakdown of how reliable each method is for tracking your applications:

Method	Reliability	Notes
LinkedIn “My Jobs → Applied” tab	High	Shows only jobs applied via LinkedIn’s “Easy Apply” or the “Apply” button on the site.
Email confirmation from recruiter	Medium	Not all companies send confirmations; sometimes they end up in spam.
Manual tracking (spreadsheet)	Very High	You control it, but it takes discipline.
Third‑party apps (e.g., Huntr, Simplify)	Medium‑High	Can sync with LinkedIn, but may require extra permissions.

One thing I’ve learned: LinkedIn’s own list isn’t perfect. If you applied through an external company portal (like Workday or Greenhouse) after clicking “Apply” on LinkedIn, the job may not show up in the “Applied” tab. In that case, check your email for the confirmation or use a browser bookmark folder. I now keep a simple Google Sheet with columns for company, role, date, and status — it’s saved me from double‑applying or losing track of follow‑ups.

Honestly, I just check my email inbox — search for “application received” or “thank you for applying” and filter by the date. Most companies send an auto‑reply, and that’s more reliable than LinkedIn’s list for me. I also bookmark the confirmation page right after I submit. Quick and dirty, but it works.

On the LinkedIn mobile app, go to your profile picture → “Jobs” → then tap the suitcase icon at the bottom. That’s the “My Jobs” section. Scroll down to “Applied” — it’s the same as the desktop version, but the layout is a bit cramped. I prefer using the website on my laptop because it’s easier to see the full list at once.

I use a browser extension called Simplify.jobs that automatically tracks every application I submit on LinkedIn. It creates a dashboard with statuses, deadlines, and even salary ranges. That way I don’t have to rely on LinkedIn’s built‑in tracker, which sometimes misses external applications. It’s not perfect, but it saves me from manually logging everything.

One thing that tripped me up: if you applied while not logged into LinkedIn (e.g., via a direct link to the company’s career page), that job won’t appear in the “Applied” tab. I now always log in before applying and use the “Easy Apply” button when possible. Also, check your “Job Applications” section under your profile’s “Resources” — some older versions of LinkedIn had it there. If you still can’t find it, try clearing your browser cache or using a different browser.
