Yes, you can absolutely see every job you’ve applied to on LinkedIn. It’s a built-in feature, but most people don’t realize it’s tucked away in a specific menu. Here’s exactly how to do it: log into your LinkedIn account, click on the “Jobs” icon in the navigation bar (it looks like a briefcase), then look for the “My Jobs” or “Saved” section. On desktop, you’ll see a tab called “Applied” – click that, and LinkedIn will display a full list of every job you’ve submitted an application for, along with the date you applied and the current status (e.g., “Applied” or “Viewed by recruiter”).
Keep in mind that this list only shows jobs you applied to directly through LinkedIn’s platform. If you clicked an “Apply on company website” link and filled out an external form, that application won’t appear in your LinkedIn “Applied” list. For those external applications, you’ll need to track them separately.
A few pro tips to make this feature more useful:
- Filter by date: Use the sort options to see your most recent applications first.
- Check status updates: Some employers update the application status directly on LinkedIn (e.g., “Interviewing” or “Not selected”), so revisit this page regularly.
- Use the “Save” tab: Before applying, save jobs you’re interested in. This creates a separate list you can compare with your “Applied” list.
If you’re using the LinkedIn mobile app, the process is similar: tap the Jobs icon at the bottom, then tap the Saved/Applied icon (a small bookmark) at the top of the screen. The “Applied” tab is right there.
| Platform | Steps to find applied jobs |
|---|
| Desktop | Jobs icon → My Jobs → Applied tab |
| Mobile App | Jobs icon → Saved/Applied icon → Applied tab |
This feature is a lifesaver for keeping track of your job search, especially when you’re submitting dozens of applications. I check mine every Monday to follow up on anything that’s gone stale.
