[QUOTE="Harvey Specter, post: 215198, member: 35674"] [JUSTIFY]I did the same as [USER=36738]@Ram Sabaratnam[/USER]! I used an excel spreadsheet to organise and keep track of my applications. I had separate columns for all of the following categories: 😅 1. Firm names (usually in alphabetical order). 2. VS/TC deadlines for each firm (in order from earliest to latest e.g., WVS or SVS). 3. Application stages e.g., SJT, VI, AC and what stage of the process I was at. 4. Interview dates and type of interview (was it solely commercial or competency etc). 5. Application outcome (whether successful or unsuccessful) for VS and/or TC. I am also a fiend for formatting and so I colour coded everything (green for submitting an app, blue for passing a certain stage, yellow if it was still in progress and red for a PFO). 🥲 I didn’t even know there was something called notion until now lmao. I think ultimately it just depends on personal preferences but I found it easier to use excel over word. 🙂[/JUSTIFY] [/QUOTE]
