When I first graduated college, finding my first full time WAS a full time job. I had created an expansive Excel sheet that I used to track my job applications, list critical contact info of hiring managers, and when and how I had contacted them.

It was a mess, to put it nicely.

Today, my “system” would be totally different. With the rise of mobile applications and internet browser extensions, task and contact management tools that once were clunky and expensive are now widely available and free!

Here are the 4 apps that I recommend you start using to more easily track every aspect of the job hunt: networking, following up, task tracking and habit making.
