Job Application Automation Workflow — Franklin F. Selvage

Job Application Automation Workflow

Use this as your operating procedure for applying to jobs and tracking activity. Follow each step carefully and mark the spreadsheet row after applying.

1. Search & Identify

  1. Run saved search for role + location (e.g., "Operations Coordinator Birmingham, AL").
  2. Open posting and copy the job title and top 3 required skills to your clipboard.
  3. Decide which resume version (A–D) matches best.

2. Prepare Submission

  1. Open the matching resume HTML/DOCX/PDF. Convert to PDF if required by the site.
  2. Open the relevant application script (A1–A6) and paste into the application text field or cover letter box.
  3. Customize one sentence: add company name and one quick proof point (e.g., "I reduced repeat visits by improving diagnostic steps").

3. Submit Application

  1. Complete the application fields and attach PDF/DOCX as requested.
  2. Paste ATS-friendly plain-text resume if the site has single-field resume input.
  3. Click Apply and copy the confirmation link or page to your clipboard.

4. Record & Follow Up

  1. Open your tracker spreadsheet and add a new row with Date Applied, Job Title, Company, City/State, Job Link, Resume Version, Script Used, Status=Applied, Follow-Up Date (Date+7–10 days), Notes.
  2. Set a calendar reminder for Follow-Up Date.

5. Follow-Up Template

Use this template for email follow-up after 7–10 days:

Subject: Follow-up — [Job Title] application

Hello [Hiring Manager Name],

I applied for the [Job Title] position on [Date]. I’m still very interested and wanted to check if you need any additional information from me. I bring experience in [1-line proof point relevant to the job].
