CAREER SYSTEM
A simple cannabis job-search tracker can prevent missed follow-ups
Organize each employer, location, application source and next step in one repeatable record.

Organize each employer, location, application source and next step in one repeatable record.
Record the source
Save the exact job URL, employer, position, location, posting date, and the date you applied. A screenshot can help, but keep the original link because the posting may be updated.
Capture the decision details
Write down compensation provided by the employer, schedule, employment type, worksite, qualifications, and application contact. Mark anything you still need to verify.
Plan the follow-up
Use the employer’s instructions. If no timeline is provided, record a reasonable date to check the application portal or send one concise inquiry. Avoid repeated messages that do not add useful information.
Prepare for the interview
Add two examples that match the responsibilities and two questions about the role. Keep the employer’s address and interview instructions with the record.
Close the loop
Mark an application closed when the job expires, the employer declines, or you decide the opportunity does not fit. A clean tracker helps you focus on active possibilities.
