Quick Answer
Indeed My Jobs is at myjobs.indeed.com (you need to sign in). Your applications are in the Applied tab, alongside Saved, Interviews, and Archived.
- Jobs you apply to on Indeed move to Applied by themselves.
- Jobs you apply to on a company website are not saved. Indeed's help only describes moving them from Saved to Applied yourself, so save the job before you click Apply.
- My Jobs lists six months at a time, and saved and archived jobs are removed after six months.
- Employer statuses like Application viewed usually only appear for jobs posted directly on Indeed.
To keep a record that covers company-site applications, mark jobs as applied with HideJobs, the browser extension I build, which hides them from your Indeed search and, once you log in, saves them to a job tracker with no six-month cutoff.
What Indeed My Jobs keeps, and for how long
Indeed My Jobs is Indeed's list of the jobs you saved, applied to, and interviewed for. It only shows anything once you are signed in to the account you applied with. According to Indeed's My Jobs help page, it has four tabs:
- Saved: jobs you bookmarked with the Save icon. You can open the posting, apply, or move the job to another tab.
- Applied: your applications, with their status. For some applications you can also see the resume you sent.
- Interviews: interviews you have scheduled or are preparing for.
- Archived: roles you are no longer pursuing. You can unarchive them.
None of these tabs is a permanent history. Indeed says My Jobs "doesn't track your entire job application history. It lists six months at a time." Its other help pages add more six-month limits: saved jobs older than six months are removed, archived jobs are removed automatically after six months, and past interviews only go back six months. A job you saved in spring and applied to on the company site can be gone by fall, along with any note that you applied.
What each Indeed application status means
Each application in the Applied tab shows one status, set by you, the employer, or Indeed, and who set it decides whether you see it at all. The statuses and meanings are from Indeed's applied jobs help page.
| Status | Set by | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Applied | Indeed (app only) | You submitted an application. |
| Employer reviewing applications | Indeed (app only) | The employer is reviewing applications but has not reviewed yours yet. |
| Application viewed | Employer | The employer reviewed your application. |
| Employer reached out | Employer | The employer contacted you through Indeed. Check your Indeed messages. |
| Response seems unlikely | Indeed (app only) | Indeed does not expect a reply: the employer has hired enough candidates, or your application has had no activity for at least two weeks. |
| Not selected by employer | Employer | The employer rejected your application. |
| Job closed | Indeed (app only) | The employer closed the job, or it expired. |
| Interviewing, Offer received, Hired | You or the employer | You got an interview, were offered the job, or accepted the offer. |
| No longer interested | You | You marked that you no longer want this job. |
Statuses updated by the employer or by Indeed "are usually only available for jobs posted directly on Indeed." If you applied on another site, you may not see them, so update the job yourself. Also, "Statuses set by Indeed are only available if you use the mobile app," so without the app you may not see the ones marked Indeed in the table.
Only Not selected by employer is a rejection. Response seems unlikely is Indeed's guess based on hiring activity or two quiet weeks, and Application viewed only tells you the employer reviewed it. If a job you care about shows either one, a short follow-up to a named person is still reasonable. Our guide to the follow-up email after a job application covers when to send it and what to write.
You can change your own status (Interviewing, Offer received, Hired, No longer interested) with Update status, from the three dots next to the current status.
Why an application is missing from My Jobs
Indeed lists three reasons an application is not in My Jobs, and its saved and archived help pages add a few more. Go through them in this order:
- You applied on the company's website. If the Apply button took you to another site, Indeed did not save the application. It may still be in your Saved tab if you saved the job first.
- You are signed in to a different Indeed account. Indeed says the application may be linked to a different account or email address. If you ever signed up with a second email, check that account too.
- The application is more than six months old. My Jobs lists six months at a time, and saved and archived jobs are removed after six months.
- You saved the job but never moved it to Applied. Look in Saved. Indeed says a closed or removed job may no longer be available.
For older applications, Indeed points to its Personal Data Request Form. Two limits make it a weak backup: Indeed says each request takes about a month, and the history only covers jobs posted on Indeed by employers, not applications on company sites. So the applications most likely to be missing from My Jobs are also missing from the data request. To keep those, mark them in HideJobs as you apply and add them to its job tracker, which does not clear them after six months.
Looking for your LinkedIn applications instead?
LinkedIn keeps applied jobs in its own Job tracker, with different rules. See how to view applied jobs on LinkedIn.
Jobs you applied to on a company website
Indeed has two kinds of jobs. With Apply on Indeed, you apply without leaving Indeed, get a confirmation email, and can track the status in My Jobs. With Apply on the company site, Indeed sends you to the employer's applicant tracking system, and you won't hear from Indeed about your application status.
For the second kind, Indeed's fix is manual: move the job from Saved to Applied with the three dots next to the job title and Move to Applied. Indeed's help describes no way to add a company-site application you never saved, so save the job before you click Apply. Once moved, you will probably not see employer statuses, so you update it by hand, and it falls under the same six-month limits. Indeed's pages disagree on interviews: What Is My Jobs says you can move a saved job to Interviews, while the interviews help page says an interview from a company-site application "won't move to the Interviews tab" and suggests changing the status to Interviewing instead.
In HideJobs you do not need to save the job first. After you apply, on Indeed or on the company site, click Mark as Applied on its card: with the Applied filter on, the job leaves your Indeed results, and you can add it to the job tracker (below).
Keeping a full record of your Indeed applications
HideJobs adds a Mark as Applied button to every job card on Indeed search results and in the open job's details pane. It works the same whether the job is Apply on Indeed or on a company site, and it does two things:
- Hides jobs you applied to. With the Applied filter on, every job you marked disappears from your Indeed results. Marking is manual: HideJobs does not read Indeed's own applied status, and the marks are stored in your browser.
- Saves the job to the HideJobs job tracker. When you mark a job, HideJobs asks "Add to Job Tracker?" and, if you choose Add to tracker, saves it with the status Applied. If you are logged out, it offers to save it once you log in. The tracker does not clear jobs after six months, and its statuses include Ghosted and No Response for the employers who never answer.
To set it up, open the HideJobs panel with the floating button on an Indeed search results page and switch on Applied. After that, click Mark as Applied on each job you apply to and choose Add to tracker when asked.
The jobs you mark also add up. Weekly Stats, in the HideJobs panel, shows the jobs you applied to and dismissed, day by day, one week at a time, and you can go back to earlier weeks. Unlike Indeed's Applied tab, it counts company-site applications too. If you applied on more than one job site that week, a third chart adds up your applications from every site. It works without an account, and the numbers stay on your computer.
Once your applications are in the tracker, HideJobs also labels job cards from companies you already applied to. A card can say "Applied to 3 jobs at this company", or "Likely applied to this job on LinkedIn" when a tracked application at the same company has a very similar title. That catches the same role posted again, or posted on another job site. Clicking the line lists those applications with a View all in Job Tracker button.
HideJobs only works in a desktop browser on Indeed search result pages, not on single job pages or in the Indeed app, and it does not change anything in Indeed's My Jobs. The company lines only use jobs in your HideJobs tracker, never your Indeed history, and they label cards without hiding them. "Likely" is a guess from the job title, so it can miss a renamed role. Applications from before you installed it can go in with Add Job in the web app. For what to record beyond the status, see our guide to setting up a job application tracker.
