Most people who apply for 20 jobs can't say a week later which CV went where. Add a line each time: the job, the employer, where you saw it, the closing date and a follow-up date. Only 171 of our 2,320 adverts on 1 November 2026 give a closing date. So write the date in when you see one, and set your own reminder when you don't.
What should I track for a job in Egypt?
Keep the link to the advert, because adverts disappear. Keep which CV you sent. In the notes box, mark the papers the employer asks for, so you're not chasing them on the day:
- Labour office registration certificate (kaab amal)
- Military status certificate, for men
- Social insurance number, and Form 6 from your last job if you've had one
- Criminal record certificate (fish). It's valid for 3 months, so don't get it too early
When should I follow up?
A week after applying is a fair time for one short, polite message if the advert gave you a person or an address. If it was a careers page with no contact, don't chase. Move on to the next one and mark it as applied.
Where is my list kept?
Only in this browser, on this device. Nothing goes to us. If you clear your browser data, it's gone, so export a CSV now and then. If you're on a shared computer, delete your list when you finish.
Questions people ask
Can I open it on my phone and laptop?
Each device keeps its own list. Export the CSV on one if you want to keep a copy elsewhere.
Does it apply for jobs for me?
No. It only keeps your notes. You apply on the employer's own page.
