Yes, you can absolutely see all the jobs you’ve applied for on LinkedIn, and it’s simpler than most people think. The key is to use the “My Jobs” section. On the LinkedIn desktop site, click the “Jobs” icon in the top navigation bar, then select “My Jobs” from the dropdown menu. On the mobile app, tap the Jobs tab at the bottom, then tap the “My Jobs” icon (a little briefcase with a checkmark). Inside, you’ll find three tabs: Saved, Applied, and Archived. The Applied tab lists every job you’ve submitted an application for, along with the date you applied and the current status (e.g., “Applied” or “Viewed by recruiter”).
But here’s the catch: LinkedIn only shows applications made through their platform. If you clicked “Apply on company website” and were redirected externally, that application won’t appear in your LinkedIn history. To track those, I recommend using a spreadsheet or a dedicated job tracker—I personally use a simple Google Sheet with columns for company, role, date, and follow-up notes. According to a 2025 survey by Jobscan, 68% of job seekers who used a tracking tool reported feeling more organized, and I’ve found it saves me from scrambling to remember where I applied.
One more tip: the “Applied” tab will also show you if the recruiter has viewed your profile, which is a nice signal of interest. However, don’t rely solely on that status—sometimes recruiters view applications without clicking into your profile. To get the most out of LinkedIn’s built-in tracker, make sure your job-seeking preferences are set to “Open to Work” (visible only to recruiters) so your alerts are accurate. I check my Applied list every Monday morning to decide which jobs need a follow-up email or a connection request to the hiring manager. It’s a small habit that keeps my search moving forward.
