Managing your network and the experiential learning application process can quickly become overwhelming and complex, with communications easily getting lost in the shuffle. The Outreach, Application, and Interview Tracker is designed to help you stay organized as you build relationships and network while applying to a wide range of experiential learning opportunities including but not limited to:
- Jobs
- Internships
- Shadowing opportunities
- Volunteer roles
- Research positions
By consolidating all your outreach, applications, and interview details in one place, this tracker will help you avoid missing important deadlines, follow-ups, or valuable opportunities throughout your experiential learning journey.
We recommend making a copy of the tracker in Google Sheets (or your preferred cloud platform) so you don’t lose your progress!
How to Use the Tracker
Below is an explanation of each column.
Tips for Getting the Most Out of the Tracker
- Update regularly. Frequent small entries are more manageable than attempting to recall details later (and prevent forgotten details and last-minute panic!).
- Be accurate. Accurate record-keeping ensures you respond on time and professionally.
- Be detailed. The more information you record, the easier it is to evaluate and compare opportunities later.
- Watch Column Types. Use correct format for each column (e.g. checkbox, dropdown, or text field) to maintain consistency.
- Stay Organized: Keep your tracker accessible on mobile and desktop for updates on-the-go!
