Notion Job Search Workspace

Job searching feels overwhelming.

You're tracking dozens of applications across multiple sites, preparing for interviews with different companies, and trying to stay organized while managing rejections, callbacks, and follow-ups.

Hi, I'm Jorge, a Senior Product Manager that's had hundreds of interviews with dozens of companies over the last few years. To manage it all without losing my sanity, I built a Notion Workspace that saved me hours each week and made the process much more manageable.

I've now turned it into a template to help others in their job search journey, and included a detailed step-by-step guide for how to get the most out of it.

In this Workspace you'll:

• Add every role you're considering applying to, getting you out of doom scrolling LinkedIn and into working on applications
• Prioritize the roles you're most interested in, ensuring you spend time on the right ones
• Get a clear view of your progress across all of your interviews
• Have a dedicated space to prepare for interviews, including preparing answers to likely questions, taking notes during the conversation, and doing a self-evaluation after the interview
• Log all communications with the hiring team so nothing falls through the cracks
• Track applications systematically, so you never lose sight of opportunities or forget to follow up

This system has been battle-tested through hundreds of real interviews and refined based on feedback from other job seekers. As bonuses to make your search even more effective, I'm also including:

• Proven questions to ask recruiters and hiring managers to help you stand out and gather crucial information
• Setup instructions for the Save to Notion browser extension that turns saving job posts from a 5-minute process into 10 seconds and 3 clicks

Regardless of whether you're in tech, finance, consulting, or any other industry, this Workspace adapts to your needs while saving you hours of manual tracking each week—ensuring you stay on top of your interviews and land your next role. It felt like having a personal assistant setting me up for success, and I know it can do the same for you too.

Ready to get started? Download the Workspace, duplicate it, start organizing your job search, and let me know how it goes. I love hearing success stories and feedback from fellow job seekers. And if you have any questions about how to get the most out of the Workspace, you'll have access to my email.

Good luck with your job search—I'm rooting for you!

FAQs

Who is this for?

Anyone actively job searching or considering a career move. While originally designed for tech interviews, the structure should work for nearly any industry and can be customized to fit your specific needs.

What makes this different from a spreadsheet or job tracking apps?

Unlike static spreadsheets, this leverages Notion's flexibility to create connected databases, organize information in different ways (like Kanban boards or calendar views), and integrated note-taking. Plus, it's completely free and includes proven strategies from real interview experience.

How much time will this save me?

Most users save several hours per week on organization and preparation. The Save to Notion extension alone turns job saving from a 5-minute manual process into 10 seconds.

How far along on my search should I be?

This works whether you're just collecting potential roles or are actively interviewing with multiple companies.

How long does setup take?

Duplicating the Workspace takes less than 5 minutes. After that, you can start using it right away or customize the workspace to better suit your preferences.

What if I'm not familiar with Notion?

No problem! I've included step-by-step setup instructions that assume zero Notion experience. You'll be up and running quickly. And if you need additional support, you can reach out with questions.

Do I need to have a Notion account to use the Workspace?

Yes. If you don’t have a Notion account, you can create a new one here. If you already have an account, you can log in to duplicate the Workspace and start using it.

How much does this cost?

This Workspace is completely free. I use a pay-what-you-want model to ensure it's accessible to everyone. If it provides value, you can choose to contribute any amount when downloading or later on.

How do I access it?

After checkout, you'll receive instructions to duplicate the Workspace into your private Notion account.

Will my information be private?

Yes. Once you duplicate the template, your workspace is completely private. No one else (including me) can access your applications or interview data unless you explicitly share it with them.

Can I customize the Workspace?

Absolutely! The Workspace is designed to provide immediate value while being flexible to adapt as you discover what works best for you.

Will I get updates?

If I make changes to the Workspace, I'll send you an email so you can incorporate them into your version if you'd like.

What if I need additional help?

You’ll have access to my personal email and can feel free to reach out with questions or feedback at any time.
