# Job application tracker

A sheet updated every evening with each application, its status and the next step, drawn from your inbox.

DailyMedium stakes

## Paste this into your agent

```
<code>Each evening, check my email for messages about job applications, including confirmations, rejections, interview invitations and replies from recruiters. Keep a spreadsheet with the company, role, date applied, current status and next step for each application. Flag anything that needs a reply within two days and draft that reply for me. Do not submit applications, accept interviews or reply to employers yourself, and never enter my ID or bank details anywhere.</code>
```

## What the agent does

1. Search the day's email for application updates
2. Update the tracker row for each company and role
3. Flag replies and interview requests with deadlines
4. Draft responses and list them in the evening log

## Rules to add

- Applications and replies to employers stay drafts until you send them
- No payments for job boards, courses or CV services
- ID numbers and bank details never go into a form or a message

What you end up with: One sheet that shows where every application stands and what to do next.
