The job search system that keeps you organised, motivated, and learning.
Job Notebook is a web app built for people who are serious about their job search but tired of managing it in spreadsheets and sticky notes.
Built on a core insight: getting 1 marketing job takes an average of 120 applications and 130 days. Most people don't have a system that helps them last that long — and they quit before the odds turn in their favour.
What Job Notebook does:
Import & Track — Chrome sidebar extension to import job descriptions directly. Kanban view to manage every application by stage (Applied → Screened → Interviewing → Offer).
Skill Intelligence — Automatic analysis of your profile vs. the job description. See exactly where you match and where you have gaps — and turn gaps into a learning task list.
Cover Letters — AI-assisted, personalised per role. Uses your profile data and the specific JD to draft something that sounds like you. Read it before you send.
Q&A Bank — One place for every answer to every recurring interview question. No more rewriting "tell me about yourself" from scratch.
Season Workflow — Job search works in cycles. Open a season, search actively, close it when you land something. Clean start, clean end.
KPIs & Benchmarks — Real stats by industry to help you understand the process and stay motivated through the long tail.
Rejection Learnings — Turn every no into data. What patterns do you see? What can you improve?
Currently in open beta. Looking for feedback from active job seekers.

Problem assumption:

I've already seen a product that helps managing job search, a year or more ago.
It's likely you have many competitors already.
