In the competitive job market, the challenges of finding the right opportunity are particularly daunting. Job seekers everywhere face overwhelming applications, rigorous interviews, and complex decision-making processes. This is my story (Dun Dun). Sorry for that…

Recently, I found myself in the thick of a job search, drowning in countless applications and interviews. The process was chaotic, and I struggled to stay organized. Out of sheer necessity, I created a template to help manage my search. It became my lifeline, helping me track every application, prepare for interviews, and compare job offers (all in one place). This tool simplified the complexities of my job search, and I believe it can do the same for you, so let me list its features and benefits.
