The Charts
Six pictures of your search — what each one tells you and how to read it.
Six charts, each answering one question about your search. All of them are live below, drawn from the same fictional tracker as the rest of this guide — scroll, hover, and click around.
Applications per week
Am I keeping a rhythm?

Each bar is one week (weeks start on Monday), and its height is how many applications you dated in it. Job searches live and die on rhythm, and this is the chart that shows yours — including the gaps. A missing bar isn't shame, it's information.

The same data as the weekly bars, but day by day, like a year-at-a-glance diary. Warmer squares mean more applications that day. Patterns jump out here that the bar chart smooths over: the two-week pause in April, the Sunday-only habit, the end-of-month sprints.
Status mix
Where does everything stand right now?
Status mix
| Status | Count |
|---|---|
| Draft | 3 |
| Sent | 9 |
| Interview | 4 |
| Offer | 1 |
| Rejected | 6 |
| Withdrawn | 1 |
| Closed | 2 |
Every application in your tracker, grouped by its current status. The number in the middle is your all-time total. A healthy ring changes shape over time: early on it's mostly Sent; later, Interview and the closed states grow. A ring that's all Draft is a pile of unsent letters — useful to notice.
Fit distribution
Am I aiming at the right jobs?
Fit distribution
| Fit range | Count |
|---|---|
| 0–19 | 1 |
| 20–39 | 3 |
| 40–59 | 7 |
| 60–79 | 10 |
| 80–100 | 5 |
Every application's fit score (0–100), grouped into five bands. Mass in the 60–100 bands means you're applying where you genuinely compete. A tall 0–39 tail usually means the search needs narrowing — or that you're forcing applications you already suspect are long shots.
Top companies
Where is my attention going?
Top companies
| Company | Applications |
|---|---|
| Aurora Analytics | 4 |
| Northwind Labs | 4 |
| Quartz Systems | 3 |
| Tidewater Cloud | 3 |
| Brightharbor | 2 |
The five companies you've applied to most. Repeat applications to one company can be persistence or a signal to vary the approach — either way, it's better to know than to be surprised.
Pipeline strip
The one-line summary.
Live demo — click a status to filter, exactly as in the dashboard. Terminal statuses are dimmed but never hidden.
The same status counts as the donut, as a compact strip that sits above the applications table. In the real dashboard the two stay in sync: click a status here and the table filters to match. Terminal statuses (Rejected, Withdrawn, Closed) render dimmed — out of the way, never deleted.
A note on trust: each chart above is computed by the same arithmetic as the real dashboard, automatically tested against it, and every chart carries a hidden data table for screen readers — so what you see is always backed by numbers you could read another way.
Next: the applications table, where the day-to-day work happens.
