Use this base to organise all your job search requirements

Explore

Finding a job is the hardest job you'll ever have, don't waste time or make it any more difficult for yourself by being disorganised. I needed to replace all my handwritten notes, various Excel spreadsheets and Outlook records to track my job search and the existing published Bases I found didn't quite meet all my requirements so I put this Base together, using parts from a couple of other published bases and adding to them.

​

There are tables for:

​

  • Recording the details of each job you're (potentially) applying for, where in the application process you are and other relevant information
  • Recording Contact details and the type of contact
  • Interactions with those contacts (mail, text, LinkedIn, video etc.)
  • Top interview question & answers (with some sample questions added)
  • Your SOAR stories (Situations, Obstacles, Actions, Results)
  • A To-Do List, with priority rankings, due dates and notification when overdue

​

Different views within each table let you organise by type of contact (e.g. headhunter, HR, friend, colleague etc) and/or how close/hot the contact is and how recently you last contacted them.

​

Keep notes of all your contact interactions and through the views quickly review what you last spoke/wrote to them about.

​

Tables incorporate links between jobs, contacts and interactions plus top interview questions and SOAR stories.

​

Best of all, this is built using only the free elements of Airtable 😊.

​

Please use and suggest any additional features that will be useful.
