Keep the vacancy details and follow-up dates together so you can prepare quickly.

Create a simple list with company, role, closing date, advert link and the date you applied. Add a column for the details you still need to confirm, such as campaign deadlines and approval handovers. A phone note or notebook works if you can find the details when someone calls.

Record the evidence you used

For each role, write down one relevant example involving asset versions and deadlines. If you used an exercise or document, note where it is stored. Update the status after a call, even if the answer is that the position has closed. Spend ten minutes each week reviewing which search terms gave you relevant roles.
