What should a job tracker record?

The two facts you will want later are when you applied and which resume you sent. Kickresume links each saved job to the documents you used; in any other tracker, add the resume version to the card yourself.

Where should your job tracker live?

A job tracker you update by hand tends to go stale. Pick the tracker built into the tool you already use to save jobs or to apply: Huntr and Teal if you save jobs from your browser, Simplify if you apply with its extension, Dreamwork if it applies for you.
