When I first started applying for jobs I kept meticulous records. I put down where I applied, the date, and if there was a contact person I could follow up with . . . Then I marked if I actually followed up. However, due to the increased usage of the Internet for applications, there generally isn't a specified contact person and the box you click at the end says something along the lines of, ". . . I agree that if found to be a suitable candidate I will be contacted directly, otherwise I may not hear from XYZ company. . ." yep. Got it.
These days I'm still applying but I just send them out. It's waaayyy too much of a let down to keep making that list only to realize that I haven't even been called or an interview once. An undergrad degree, doctorate, and a masters and I can't even get an interview. Money well spent. Like a boss.
