Yes, you can see a list of jobs you’ve applied for on LinkedIn. It’s actually pretty straightforward once you know where to look. On the desktop version, click the “Jobs” icon in the top navigation bar, then on the left sidebar you’ll see a section called “My Jobs.” Inside that, click the “Applied” tab. That’s where every job you’ve submitted an application to will be stored. On the mobile app, tap the Jobs tab at the bottom, then tap the “Applied” filter at the top of the screen.
One thing I’ve noticed: LinkedIn doesn’t automatically save every application if you were redirected to an external company site. If you clicked “Apply on company website” and filled out the form elsewhere, that job won’t show up in your Applied list. To keep track of those, I recommend using a simple spreadsheet or a tool like Huntr or Teal to log external applications.
Here’s a quick comparison of how the two methods work:
| Method | What’s tracked | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| LinkedIn’s “Applied” tab | Only “Easy Apply” and jobs submitted via LinkedIn’s internal system | Quick reference, mobile users |
| External tracking (spreadsheet/app) | All applications, including external sites | Organizing follow-ups, salary data, notes |
Also, don’t forget that LinkedIn’s “Applied” list updates in real time, but it can take a few minutes after you submit. If you accidentally close a job post before applying, it won’t be saved. Pro tip: always double-check the “Applied” tab right after you submit to confirm it’s logged.
For job seekers worried about missing a response, I’d suggest setting a weekly reminder to review your applications. That way you can follow up, tailor your next steps, and avoid duplicating efforts. LinkedIn doesn’t send you a push notification every time a status changes, so checking manually is key.

I honestly just use the “My Jobs” section on LinkedIn’s mobile app. Tap the Jobs icon, then tap “Applied” at the top. It’s super quick. But I learned the hard way: if you apply through an external link, it won’t show up. So I keep a notes app with a simple list. That’s pretty much it. No need for fancy tools. Just check once a week.

On LinkedIn, go to Jobs > My Jobs > Applied. That’s the official path. But here’s the catch: only Easy Apply applications are tracked. For external sites, you’re on your own. I use a free Chrome extension called “Job Tracker” that logs everything automatically. Works like a charm. Saves me from re-applying to the same company by accident.

I’m a bit old-school, so I keep a paper notebook. But LinkedIn’s own tool is fine for seeing what you’ve applied to. Navigate to Jobs > My Jobs > Applied on desktop. It lists the job title, company, and date. No status updates though. If you want to know if you moved to “Reviewed” or “Rejected,” you’ll have to check the individual job page. That’s a pain, but it works.

LinkedIn’s Applied tab is a lifesaver, but it’s incomplete. I’ve been tracking my applications for three months. Want to know what I found? Out of 47 applications, only 22 appeared in LinkedIn’s list. The rest were external redirects. So I built a habit: after every external application, I paste the job URL into a Google Sheet with columns for date, company, and follow-up. It’s simple, but it keeps me sane.
| Source | Tracked by LinkedIn | Tracked by me |
|---|---|---|
| Easy Apply | Yes | Yes |
| External site | No | Yes |
Honestly, for a job search, a little extra organization pays off.
