Yes, you can absolutely see a list of jobs you’ve applied for on LinkedIn. It’s a built-in feature that’s easy to access, though the exact steps vary slightly depending on whether you’re using the desktop site or the mobile app. On desktop, click the “Jobs” icon in the top navigation bar, then select “My jobs” from the dropdown menu. On mobile, tap the “Jobs” tab at the bottom, then tap the “My jobs” option. Under the “Applied” tab, you’ll find every job application you’ve submitted, along with the date you applied and the current status (e.g., “Applied,” “Viewed,” “In Review,” “Interviewing,” or “Rejected”). This is a powerful tool for tracking your job search progress, but it’s important to note that LinkedIn only shows applications you submitted directly through its platform. If you clicked an external link to apply on a company’s career site, that application won’t appear here. For a comprehensive view, I recommend keeping a separate spreadsheet of all applications, including those made off-platform. Also, be aware that LinkedIn’s “Applied” status is not always updated in real time—some employers may not update the status after reviewing your application. To get more accurate insights, check your candidate profile on the employer’s own applicant tracking system (ATS) if you received a confirmation email. Pro tip: Use LinkedIn’s “Saved Jobs” feature alongside your applied list to compare opportunities you’re actively pursuing versus ones you’ve already submitted. This dual approach helps you manage your pipeline more effectively. If you’ve applied for a lot of jobs, the list can get long, but you can filter by date range or keyword to narrow it down. Here’s a quick breakdown of what you’ll typically see in the applied jobs list:
| Column | Description |
|---|
| Job Title | The position you applied for |
| Company | Name of the employer |
| Date Applied | Day you submitted the application |
| Status | Latest update from LinkedIn (e.g., Applied, In Review, Rejected) |
| Actions | Options to view the job, withdraw application, or see similar jobs |
Keep in mind that withdrawing an application removes it from your list, but the employer may still have a copy. Use this feature carefully, especially if you’re reconsidering a role.
