You can absolutely see your full job application history on LinkedIn, and it’s simpler than you might think. The key is to use the “My Jobs” section, which is your personal dashboard for tracking every application you’ve submitted. Whether you used the “Easy Apply” button or were redirected to an external company portal, LinkedIn keeps a record of these actions.
First, look for the “Jobs” icon in the navigation bar at the top of your LinkedIn homepage. Click on it, and you’ll be taken to the main job search page. On the left-hand side of that page, you’ll see a menu with several options. The second one from the top is “My Jobs.” Clicking this opens a new view that is divided into three tabs: “Saved,” “Applied,” and “Archived.” By default, it might show you saved jobs, so you need to click on the “Applied” tab to see your complete list.
Within the “Applied” tab, you’ll find a chronological list of every job you’ve applied for. For each entry, LinkedIn shows the job title, the company name, the date you applied, and the current status of your application. Common statuses include “Applied,” “Viewed,” or “Interviewing.” If you applied through an external website, LinkedIn will still record the click, but it won’t track your progress beyond the initial redirect. To get a clearer picture of how your applications are performing, you can use the “Sort by” filter to organize them by date or status.
| Status Type | What It Means | Employer Action |
|---|---|---|
| Applied | Your application has been submitted. | No action taken yet. |
| Viewed | The recruiter or hiring manager has opened your application. | Your profile has been seen. |
| Interviewing | You have been invited to an interview. | Schedule is being set. |
| Offer | A job offer has been extended. | Negotiation or acceptance stage. |
A quick tip: If you’re on mobile, the process is the same. Tap the “Jobs” icon at the bottom of the app, then tap the “My Jobs” card at the top of the screen. The “Applied” tab is right there. This is a fantastic way to stay organized and avoid double-applying to the same role.

Finding your applied jobs on LinkedIn is actually easy once you know where to look. I just go to the Jobs tab and then click on the “My Jobs” section on the left side of the page. There’s a clear tab labeled “Applied.” That’s where all my past applications live. I find it super helpful because it shows the date I applied, so I can see which ones are recent and which ones are old. It’s pretty straightforward, and I don’t need to dig through settings or anything like that.

To be honest, I used to get confused by this too. The trick is that you don’t look at your profile page. Instead, you have to go to the Jobs page itself. Once there, look on the left sidebar for “My Jobs.” Inside that, the “Applied” tab shows everything. I have noticed that if you apply on a company’s own website, LinkedIn still logs it as “Applied” based on the click, but it won’t update the status. So, it’s a good snapshot, but not perfect for external applications.

I on the “My Jobs” dashboard heavily during my job search. After clicking the Jobs icon, I immediately click “My Jobs” and then the “Applied” tab. LinkedIn also sends me email confirmations for each application, which I cross-reference with this list. I’ve found that the status updates are fairly reliable for Easy Apply jobs, but for external sites, I often have to check the company’s career portal directly. The sorting feature by date is my favorite, as it helps me prioritize follow-ups.

The best way to see your applications is to use the “My Jobs” feature on the desktop site. It’s under the main Jobs menu. The “Applied” tab gives you a neat list. However, I want to add a caution: LinkedIn doesn’t always track applications that you submitted on a different company website perfectly. It might show the job as “Applied” even if you didn’t finish the external form. So, I always keep a personal spreadsheet alongside this list to track my actual status and next steps.
