How this works

Everything lives on this machine, in this browser. Nothing is uploaded anywhere.

Where the data is kept: Everything you add, and every attached file, is stored in this browser's local database, tied to the address you opened this page from. Open it the same way each time and your data will be there. Change how you open it and the browser treats it as a different site, so use Back up regularly and keep the backup file somewhere safe.
Two tracks: Jobs are jobs: schemes, internships, off-cycle seats, speculative approaches. Opportunities are everything else with a deadline, such as LSE consultancy projects, sub-committees, volunteer roles, research projects, competitions, fellowships and conferences. They share one table so a given week's real workload is visible in one place, and the buttons above the table split them apart when you want one track on its own. Each track has its own stage vocabulary, so an opportunity runs Idea, Researching, Expressed interest, Confirmed rather than through assessment centres.
Deadlines against start dates: Deadline shows whichever comes first: the closing date, or a date the current stage puts in your diary such as an interview. If no closing date has been announced it reads TBD, which is how you park something you mean to apply for once it is out.
Adding items in bulk: Click Prompt to get a Claude prompt that turns any pile of listings into an importable sheet, or Template for the blank one, fill in one row per item, then Import. Column order does not matter and unrecognised columns are ignored. Dates can be written as 25/09/2026, 2026-09-25, or left blank. Leave Track blank and it is worked out from the Type column.
Rolling deadlines: Leave Deadline blank and set Rolling to yes. Rolling items sort to the top of deadline views, since they are the ones you can act on today, and never show a countdown. A deadline that simply has not been announced is different: leave both blank and it reads TBD.
Attachments: Drag files onto anything in the pipeline to attach the job description or project brief, the CV you sent, the covering letter, application answers, or correspondence. Tag each one so you can tell at a glance which CV base went where.
Getting at your files quickly: The file count in the last column of the table opens a menu straight away, so you can open or download the CV you sent without going into the item at all. Download all pulls the lot. If an item has no files yet the column shows a plus, which opens it on the Files tab.
Backing up and moving machines: Back up writes a single file holding everything tracked and every attachment. Export writes a spreadsheet of the rows currently on screen, in the same shape as the import template, so you can bulk-edit in Excel and import it back.

Back up or restore

Roles and attachments live in this browser only. A backup is the copy you can keep elsewhere or move to another machine.

Back up now: Writes a single file holding every role and every attached document. Do this after any heavy week.
Restore from file: Reads a backup back in and merges it with whatever is already here. A role that already exists is replaced by the backup version.
