Common questions
Will it remind me to follow up?
It highlights overdue follow-ups in red when you open the workbook. It doesn't send emails or notifications.
Can I change the dropdown lists?
Yes. The sources, work types, interview rounds, formats and outcomes are lists on the Settings sheet that you can edit.
Does it help me write my resume?
No, it tracks your search. For the resume and cover letter, try the Inksets resume builder.
Which programs does it work in?
Microsoft Excel and Google Sheets. The workbooks have no macros, no add-ins and no links to other files.
What do I get after I pay?
Two .xlsx files: a copy with sample data, so you can see how it works, and a blank copy to start with. You land on a download page right after payment, and we email you a link that works for 90 days.
Do I need an account?
No. You pay with Stripe Checkout, and the download page and the emailed link are all you need. We keep your email address and your order so the link keeps working.
