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.
