To find jobs you’ve applied to on LinkedIn, the most direct method is to head to the Jobs tab at the top of your LinkedIn homepage, then click “My Jobs” from the dropdown menu. Inside, you’ll see a sub-tab labeled “Applied” that lists every position you’ve submitted an application for. You can sort by date applied or filter by status (e.g., “Viewed,” “In Review,” “Rejected”). This is the official, built-in way LinkedIn provides, and it updates automatically after you apply.
I’ve used this feature for years, and it’s generally reliable. However, LinkedIn occasionally rearranges its navigation. If you don’t see the “My Jobs” option, try clicking the “Jobs” icon in the left sidebar, then look for a “Job Applications” card on the right side of the page. Another route is to go to Settings & Privacy → Job seeking → Application history, which gives you a complete list, including applications you may have withdrawn.
Below is a quick comparison of the main ways to access your applied jobs:
| Method | Steps | Best For |
|---|
| Jobs Tab → My Jobs → Applied | Click Jobs, then My Jobs, then Applied tab | Daily review of active applications |
| Job Applications Card | On Jobs page, look for the card on the right | Quick glance without navigating menus |
| Settings & Privacy → Application history | Settings → Job seeking → Application history | Full history including withdrawn apps |
In my experience, the “My Jobs” route is the fastest. If you’re using the mobile app, tap the Jobs icon at the bottom, then your profile picture in the top right, and select “Applications.” The app usually syncs within minutes of submitting an application. For Easy Apply, the confirmation can be delayed a bit, but it still shows up there. I recommend checking this list once a week to track your progress and follow up with recruiters.
