If you’re wondering where to see jobs you applied for on LinkedIn, the answer is simple: go to your profile, click the “Jobs” tab in the top navigation menu, then select “Job applications” from the dropdown. This opens a dedicated page listing every position you’ve submitted an application for, along with the current status (if the employer has updated it). For mobile users, tap the “Jobs” icon at the bottom, then tap the “My Jobs” section—you’ll find a tab labeled “Applications” there.
Beyond the basic location, here’s how to get the most out of this feature. LinkedIn automatically tracks applications made through its platform, but if you applied via an external company portal (e.g., Workday or Greenhouse), it won’t appear here. To avoid confusion, I always check the “Application Status” column. Common statuses include:
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Applied | Your submission is received. |
| Viewed | The recruiter opened your profile. |
| Interview | You’ve been invited for an interview. |
| Rejected | The position is no longer open to you. |
| Offer | You’ve received an offer. |
Pro tip: Enable “Job application updates” in your notification settings so you get an email when a status changes. This saves you from logging in repeatedly. Also, use the “Date Applied” filter to sort by most recent. If you notice a job is missing from the list, double-check your email inbox for the confirmation—LinkedIn sometimes fails to sync external applications. For a comprehensive view, I recommend keeping a personal spreadsheet with application dates, company names, and follow-up notes, especially if you’re actively applying to a dozen or more roles.

I just head straight to the “Jobs” tab on my profile and click “Job applications.” It’s that easy. Honestly, I check it once a week because I get email alerts when a recruiter views my application or updates the status. That’s enough for me. I don’t bother with the mobile app—the desktop site is clearer. One thing: if you applied through a third-party site, LinkedIn won’t show it. So I always save a copy of my confirmation email.

I’m not the most tech-savvy, so I used to scroll down to “Activity” on my profile and hunt for applications. That’s a mess. Now I know to go to Jobs > Job applications, but it’s still not obvious. I wish LinkedIn would put a big button on the homepage. I also keep a handwritten list—old school, I know. Helps me remember which companies I’ve actually followed up with.

For me, LinkedIn’s “My Jobs” section is the go‑to, but I also on email confirmations because sometimes the status doesn’t update. I’m a spreadsheet person—I track everything manually. The official way works, but it’s not perfect. On the mobile app, tap “Jobs” then “My Jobs” and switch to the “Applications” tab. I also use the “Saved Jobs” list to keep track of positions I’m interested in before applying, so I don’t lose them.

Here’s what I’ve learned after years of job hopping: bookmark the LinkedIn Job Applications page directly. The URL is something like `linkedin.com/my-items/saved-jobs/?cardType=applied
