Well, the straightforward way to see all the jobs you’ve applied for on LinkedIn is to go to the “Jobs” tab on your desktop or mobile app, then click on “My Jobs” and select the “Applied” filter. That will show you every position you’ve submitted an application for, along with the date you applied and the current status (e.g., “Applied,” “Viewed,” “Interviewing”). If you’ve used LinkedIn’s “Easy Apply” feature, those are automatically listed here. For applications you submitted off-platform (e.g., via the company’s career page), they won’t appear unless you manually tracked them.
One thing I’d stress is that LinkedIn’s “Applied” list is only visible to you – recruiters can’t see it. This is a huge privacy advantage. But I’ve noticed that if you delete a job alert or clear your browser cache, the list might still be intact on the app.
Here’s a quick breakdown of the most common methods to access your application history:
| Method | Steps | Notes |
|---|
| Desktop (LinkedIn.com) | Click “Jobs” → “My Jobs” → “Applied” | Best for sorting and filtering by date or company |
| Mobile App (iOS/Android) | Tap “Jobs” → “My Jobs” → “Applied” | Same experience, but easier to scroll quickly |
| Resume Upload History | No direct link; use “My Jobs” → “Saved” to see only saved jobs | Not applicable for applications – use the “Applied” tab |
A few power tips: Bookmark this page (linkedin.com/my-items/saved-jobs?trk=nav_responsive_sub_nav_jobs) for faster access, and use the “Date Applied” filter to focus on recent applications. If you’ve applied to hundreds of jobs, the list is paginated – you can click “Load more” at the bottom to see older entries.
Also, keep in mind that LinkedIn does not notify you when an application is withdrawn or deleted by the company. So you might see a “Applied” status for a position that’s already closed. I recommend cross-checking with the company’s own portal every few weeks.
From a recruiter’s perspective, I’ve seen many candidates miss follow-ups because they only check LinkedIn’s “Applied” tab. The platform is great for tracking, but it’s not perfect. For example, if you applied via a job board like Indeed, those listings won’t sync – you’ll need to track them separately. My advice: use a simple spreadsheet or a dedicated job tracker app alongside LinkedIn to keep a complete picture.
