If you’re wondering how to see the jobs you’ve applied for on LinkedIn in 2026, the process is straightforward but often overlooked. The easiest way is to use the “My Jobs” section on the desktop version or the mobile app. Here’s exactly how to do it:
First, log into your LinkedIn account. On the top navigation bar, click the “Jobs” icon (it looks like a briefcase). On the left-hand sidebar, you’ll see a menu with several options. Scroll down and click “My Jobs.” This will open a page that automatically filters your activity into three tabs: Applied, Saved, and Archived. The Applied tab is your main answer—it lists every job you’ve submitted an application for, sorted by date. You can also see the status of each application, such as “Applied,” “Viewed,” or “In Review.”
For a more detailed view, click on any job title to open the posting. From there, you can see the recruiter’s name (if shared), the company’s response time, and any follow-up actions you’ve taken. If you’ve applied through LinkedIn’s Easy Apply feature, the status updates automatically. For external applications (where LinkedIn redirected you to the company’s career page), the platform still tracks the application, but the status may remain “Applied” unless the company updates it via LinkedIn’s Recruiter tools.
A key tip: LinkedIn does not always notify you when an employer views your application, so checking the “My Jobs” section weekly is a good habit. I’ve seen many job seekers miss interview invitations simply because they didn’t know where to look. If you’re applying for multiple roles, use the filter bar inside “My Jobs” to search by company name, job title, or date range. This is especially useful when you’ve applied for 50+ positions.
| Step | Action | Where to Find It |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Log in to LinkedIn | Homepage |
| 2 | Click “Jobs” icon | Top navigation bar |
| 3 | Select “My Jobs” | Left sidebar menu |
| 4 | Click “Applied” tab | Under “My Jobs” header |
| 5 | Review each application | Click job title for details |
This method works for both free and Premium accounts. Premium users also get insights like “How you compare to other applicants” and “Salary range estimates,” which add context to your application status.

I usually just open the LinkedIn app on my phone, tap the Jobs icon at the bottom, and then tap the “My Jobs” button right at the top. It’s the second option after “Saved.” All my submitted applications pop up there. Honestly, I’ve been using this for years and it’s the fastest way. If you’ve applied through a company’s own website though, LinkedIn won’t track it—you’ll need to check your email for confirmation. I’d recommend saving a copy of your application in a spreadsheet, because LinkedIn’s list can be a bit messy with older jobs.

I found it by accident. After you click the Jobs tab, look at the left sidebar. There’s a tiny link that says “My Jobs.” Click it, and you’ll see three tabs. The Applied tab is the one you want. It shows every job you’ve submitted to, with the date and status. I was surprised to see I’d applied for 12 jobs in one month without realizing it. One thing that tripped me up: if you apply through a third-party platform like Glassdoor or Indeed, LinkedIn won’t track it. So always check your main email inbox too.

I’m not a fan of LinkedIn’s interface, but here’s what works for me. On the desktop, go to the Jobs page, then click “My Jobs” in the left menu. That’s your hub. The Applied tab is the default. I prefer to export my application history by using a browser extension that saves job details to a CSV file. LinkedIn doesn’t have a native export feature, so I manually copy the job title and company name. If you’re applying for security-clearance or government roles, LinkedIn often doesn’t show the status—you’ll have to rely on the agency’s portal.

From a recruiter’s perspective, I’d tell you that checking your own application history is half the battle. On LinkedIn, go to Jobs > My Jobs > Applied. That’s it. But here’s the real tip: update your application status manually by clicking “Add a note” inside the job posting. This helps you track where you are in the process. I also set a weekly reminder to review my applied jobs. If you’ve used Easy Apply, the status updates automatically. For external applications, LinkedIn can’t know if you’ve been rejected, so always check the company’s careers page or your email for updates.
