Resume Tracker Freeware Software Organizes Your Resumes


Windows Only: You probably don't send the same exact resume for every single job opening and will fine tune it according to the vacancy. Keeping track and holding control of what you sent can be a pain in the ass (excuse me for this expression). ResumeTracker does a smart and simple job of organizing and labeling your multi-versioned  resumes for later reference.


The application itself is still in its early stages, and there are two things to note right off the bat.

First of all the application really requires Microsoft Word, unless your non-Word editing tool happens to agree with it.
And secondly the application also requires Administrator access to run well.

Those complaints aside, ResumeTracker works just fine for the common Job Searcher (using MS Word), providing an organized way of creating a Master Resume, creating new entries for each vacancy or job title, then linking a customized version of that master resume to each job pitch, with notes on when you sent it, who it was sent to, and the like. So you keep a good registration of each slightly or heavily changed Resume assigned to a specific job.

ResumeTracker is a free download for Windows systems only. What's your preferred multi-resume tracking system, other than remembering to rename your .doc files for every single job?

The download link is this sentence.
