Job Winner

Background

I lost my job right before the holiday season in 2022. I need to look for a new job and apply for as many as I can while all the big techs are laying off talents.

To keep track of job applications:

1. Use Google Spreadsheet (I am using it before this project). It is ugly, hard to maintain and easy to mess up the layout.
2. Use online tool like huntr.co. But it can only track 40 jobs and I don't want to spend a dime for the premium service.
3. Use pen and paper. It works but I can't copy and paste information such as the job url link and utilize it later.

None of the about is fun or totally fit my use case.

That's the reason for me to build something for myself, and potentially you, to get the job done (and to get a new job successfully!)

Benefit of Job Winner

One of the handy features is the Profile Page. This is where you can store all the personal information that job applications often ask for (like your LinkedIn URL). Plus, it has a super handy feature that lets you copy any field to your clipboard with just a click.
