Job Hunt Dashboard

Notion · 2+ databases · Strategic job search

80% of jobs are filled through networking. If your job search is just applying online, you're playing a losing game.

Built For

Active job seekers at every level — new graduates entering the market, mid-career professionals seeking advancement, and career changers navigating unfamiliar industries. Whether you're applying to 10 or 100 positions, a chaotic search costs you opportunities.

The Problem

You're applying to jobs through a fog. Applications disappear into portals with no follow-up system. You prep for interviews at the last minute with no structured framework. You meet people who could help your career, then lose their contact info. And you have no idea if the salary they offer is fair.

What's Inside

  • Application Pipeline — track every application with company, role, status (Applied → Phone Screen → Interview → Offer), and follow-up dates
  • Interview Prep Sheets — structured STAR method templates for behavioral questions with space for company research and role-specific preparation
  • Networking CRM — track contacts, conversations, referral status, and follow-up cadences
  • Salary Research Tracker — log compensation data by company and role to negotiate from a position of knowledge
  • Follow-Up Scheduler — automated reminders so no application or connection falls through the cracks
  • Weekly Job Search Review — structured reflection on what's working and what needs to change

Two Ways to Use It

Beginner Mode

Start by logging your target companies and open applications. Follow the guided weekly job search routine and use the interview prep template before each conversation.

Advanced Mode

Build a strategic networking map, track application conversion rates by channel, implement salary negotiation frameworks, and analyze your pipeline to identify where candidates stall.

The Science Behind It

Applies Cialdini's reciprocity principle to job searching — when you give value in networking conversations before asking for help, people are psychologically wired to return the favor. This transforms cold outreach into warm relationships.

The interview prep system is built on the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result) — the format hiring managers are trained to evaluate. Structured preparation eliminates rambling answers and surfaces the stories that demonstrate your impact.

This is Nth-order thinking applied to career transitions: systematic preparation (first order) leads to stronger interviews (second order), which leads to better offers and a higher salary baseline (third order) that compounds across decades of earning potential.

Why Others Fall Short

Job boards track applications but nothing else. ATS tools optimize resumes but ignore the human side. This manages the complete campaign — applications, networking, interview prep, salary research, and follow-ups in one unified system.

  • LinkedIn and Indeed track where you applied but offer no follow-up system, no interview prep, and no networking management
  • ATS optimization tools like Jobscan focus on beating algorithms but ignore the 80% of jobs filled through human connections
  • Built with Nth-order design: other tools help you apply to jobs. This one is engineered so every application, conversation, and interview compounds into a career trajectory — not just a single offer
