Notes Stack for Job Seekers
Job hunting is a full-time research project. You're browsing job listings, researching companies, prepping for interviews, and tracking where you've applied. Notes Stack keeps all that context attached to the pages where you found it — so you never lose track of an opportunity.
Why Job Seekers Choose Notes Stack
Your job search lives in the browser. LinkedIn, Glassdoor, Indeed, company career pages — you're constantly switching between them. Notes Stack sits right there in the side panel, ready to capture every important detail.
- Application notes on job listings — Open a job posting and jot down why it interests you, how your experience aligns, and questions you'd want to ask. Come back to that listing and your notes are already there.
- Company research on careers pages — Visit a company's "About" page, Glassdoor profile, or recent news articles and capture insights about culture, values, growth, and red flags.
- Interview prep checklists — Create task lists for each interview round: company research, STAR stories to prepare, questions to ask, logistics to confirm.
- Color-coded stacks for application stages — Track your pipeline with stacks: "Interested", "Applied", "Phone Screen", "Interview", "Offer", "Rejected". See where every opportunity stands at a glance.
Tips and Tricks
Create stacks that mirror your job search stages: "Bookmarked", "Applied", "Interview Scheduled", "Offer Received". Move notes between stacks as you progress. Use the stack filter to see all opportunities at a given stage.
For each upcoming interview, create a note with a task list: research the company, prepare 3 STAR stories, review the job description, prepare questions for the interviewer, confirm logistics. Check items off as you prepare.
Keep your salary research, negotiation notes, and offer comparisons locked behind a PIN. This is especially important if you're job searching while employed and need to keep details private.
When you find a job posting with a deadline, set a reminder for 2 days before. You'll get a browser notification with a link right back to the listing page, giving you time to finalize your application.
Use the domain filter to view only notes from linkedin.com, glassdoor.com, or indeed.com. This helps you quickly review all the opportunities you've found on a specific platform.
Export your notes to CSV to create a comprehensive spreadsheet of every opportunity you've tracked. The export includes URLs, page titles, timestamps, and your notes — perfect for sharing with a career coach or keeping a personal record.
