💖 Welcome!

<aside> 💡 This is a Notion template for a job application manager that makes the process of looking for work a little less shitty by providing some foundational structure of where information is deposited, and makes it easier to share new jobs you’re applying to with your Mentors and other people who can provide feedback on your applications.

Created by Javiera Cordero, if you have any other improvements or suggestions feel invited to let her know! 🌻

The actual Magic ✨✨✨ of this Template

• Notion has the ability to structure data within easy to use Databases
• These databases can be envisioned as a 3D way to represent data if Spreadsheets like Google Sheets are a 2D way.
  • This means that any entry in a database can be expanded into its own notion page
• Databases can also be configured to have Properties that are Relational Properties, so that the Jobs and Companies and People Databases can show relations between items.
  • The value in doing this is that as you build a database of jobs you’re applying to, you can connect these Jobs to the Companies Database and connect that to the People database so you can start to effectively keep track of the relations these have. </aside>
