For active job seekers

Templates for Job Seekers.

A curated set of 8 spreadsheets — and the guides that go with them — for the people running a real job search. Track every application without losing the recruiter's name, map your skills against the role you want, weigh offers without panic, and survive the first 90 days once the badge is yours.

A job search is a project. Run it like one.

Most job searches die in the inbox — applications submitted, follow-ups forgotten, recruiter names mixed up, and an offer that arrives with forty-eight hours to decide. The templates in this collection treat the search the way you'd treat any project: a pipeline you can see, a skills matrix that tells you which postings are worth the cover letter, a gap analysis that turns "I'm under-qualified" into a twelve-week plan, and a decision helper for the week when three offers land at once.

The reading list below pairs with the templates — including the resumes hiring managers toss, the salary negotiation script that doesn't lose offers, and the first-90-days framework that turns the new job into a long one.
