Yes, you can absolutely see a list of every job you’ve applied to on LinkedIn. It’s actually a built-in feature, but a lot of people miss it because the menu isn’t super obvious at first glance. I’ve been using this feature for years, and it’s a game-changer for keeping your job search organized.
The easiest way to find it is on the desktop version. Open LinkedIn and click the Jobs icon at the top of the page. Then, look for a tab labeled My Jobs on the left-hand side of the screen. Inside that, you’ll see a filter or a sub-tab called Applied. Click that, and LinkedIn will show you every job you’ve applied for, whether you used the “Easy Apply” button or were redirected to the company’s own website. The mobile app works the same way: tap the Jobs icon at the bottom, then tap “My Jobs” and select “Applied.”
Here’s a quick breakdown of the key sections you’ll see:
| Section | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Applied | All jobs where you submitted an application. |
| Saved | Jobs you bookmarked but haven’t applied to. |
| Archived | Jobs you’ve hidden or removed from your list. |
One important thing to note: LinkedIn doesn’t always track applications that were made on external career portals. If you clicked “Apply” and were taken to a company’s own website, LinkedIn might not register that as a completed application unless you also imported your profile data. So, it’s a good habit to check the “Applied” tab regularly and manually log any off-site applications you’ve made, just to keep your records straight.
I also recommend using the “In Progress” status filter inside the “Applied” section. This lets you see which applications are still open and which ones have been closed or rejected. It’s a huge help when you’re juggling multiple opportunities and need to prioritize your follow-ups.

I honestly found it by accident. I was clicking around the Jobs tab one day and saw the My Jobs button. I clicked it, and there it was, a list of everything I’d applied for. It’s pretty straightforward once you know where to look. I use the mobile app mostly, and it’s the same path: tap Jobs, then My Jobs, then Applied. Super simple. I also like that you can see the date you applied, which helps me remember which ones I followed up on.

Honestly, I wish LinkedIn made this more obvious. I was searching for ages before a friend told me to look under the Jobs tab and then My Jobs. It’s not hidden, but it’s not exactly shouted from the rooftops either. I use the filter to see only applications from the last week, so I don’t get overwhelmed by the older ones. It’s a decent tool, but I still keep my own spreadsheet on the side, just in case.

I’m a little old-school, so I still prefer tracking applications in a notebook. But for the digital side, LinkedIn’s Applied tab is a solid backup. On the desktop, I click the Jobs icon, then My Jobs, and finally Applied. It saves me from having to remember every company I’ve written to. My only complaint is that it doesn’t always show applications from companies that use their own hiring systems, so I always double-check my email for confirmation messages.

From a recruiter’s perspective, I can tell you that the My Jobs section is the best place to check your application status. We see it on our end when you apply, and that’s exactly where job seekers should look to confirm their submission. On the desktop, click Jobs > My Jobs > Applied. It’s that simple. I also tell candidates to use the “Archived” tab to clean up old applications so they only see the ones that matter. It keeps your job search process tidy and focused.
