I Built a Notion Dashboard to Track My Data Job Hunt

Looking for a data job means managing multiple things at once:

  • Applications at different stages (Saved → Applied → Phone Screen → Interview → Offer)
  • Interview prep across SQL, Python, ML, stats, and behavioral
  • Skills you need to improve
  • People you've reached out to

I was using a spreadsheet for applications, a Notion page for interview prep, Google Docs for resumes, and my brain for networking. It was chaos.

So I built a unified Notion dashboard.

What's Inside

Dashboard

Summary view with live counters for applications, interviews, offers, and rejections.

Job Tracker

Table, Kanban, and Calendar views. Properties: Company, Role, Status (8 stages), Date Applied, Priority, Notes.

Interview Prep

Track questions by topic (SQL, Python, Stats, ML, Behavioral). Rate difficulty. Mark confidence level. Gallery view works like flashcards.

Skill Tracker

Rate your current level and target level. The Gap formula shows what needs work.

Networking Log

Name, company, platform, response status, follow-up date.

Weekly Review

Duplicate this every Sunday. Wins, challenges, and top 3 priorities.

Resume Section (Bonus)

Master resume + per-job tailoring checklist + cover letter template.

Why Notion?

It's free, works on every device, and database features (linked views, formulas, relations) make it powerful for job hunting.
