Prysm Note for job hunting
Job hunting has the shape of a sales pipeline with worse feedback. Applications need dates, follow ups need reminders, and interview prep needs notes that survive between rounds, which is exactly the structure a task app plus notes provides.
What matters here
- One task per application with the date sent
- A note per company with people and rounds
- Follow up reminders set at send time
- Interview prep as subtasks
- A weekly review of silent applications
Tracking applications
A task per application is enough. Put the role in the title, the company in a tag or list, and the date sent in the description. When the status changes, update the task rather than creating a new one.
Notes that carry between rounds
Keep one note per company: who you spoke to, what they asked, what you said you would follow up on. Before round two, reading that note is faster and better than trying to remember.
The follow up rhythm
Set the follow up reminder when you send the application, not when you start wondering. One polite follow up after a week is normal; three is a different message.
