ApplyBox is an application tracking system designed to help job seekers manage their job applications, keep track of important documents, and stay organized during the job search process.

Job hunting can be an overwhelming and complex process. As someone who has experienced this firsthand, I found myself struggling to keep track of all my applications across multiple companies, different stages of the hiring process, and various documents (resumes, cover letters, etc.) customized for each position.

I created ApplyBox to solve these challenges:

• Organization: Say goodbye to scattered spreadsheets, notes, and documents. ApplyBox provides a central hub for all your job search activities.
• Visibility: Get a clear picture of your application status with a comprehensive dashboard that shows where you stand in each process.
• Documentation: Store all application-related files in one place, making it easy to retrieve the specific resume version or cover letter you sent to a company.
• Follow-up: Never miss an opportunity by tracking which applications need follow-up and when.
• Data-Driven Strategy: Analyze your job search patterns to improve your approach, understand which industries you're targeting most, and see conversion rates at each application stage.

Whether you're actively looking for your next role or simply building a system to track future career opportunities, ApplyBox helps transform the chaotic job search process into a structured, manageable journey.
