How to view saved jobs on LinkedIn (Desktop / Web)

Follow these steps when you’re on a computer or using LinkedIn in a full browser:

1. Sign in to LinkedIn at linkedin.com.
2. Click the Jobs icon in the top navigation bar.
3. On the Jobs page, look for the left-hand menu and click Saved or select My Jobs and then choose the Saved tab.
4. Your saved listings appear as a list. Click any job to reopen the posting and see details, company info, and application options like Easy Apply or external application links.
5. To remove a job, click the saved/bookmark icon again (it toggles) or use the checkbox and Unsave action if available.

Desktop tips

• Sort and filter: LinkedIn might allow limited sorting (date saved, relevance) — use search inside saved jobs to find a specific role or company.
• Use My Jobs: the My Jobs area groups Saved and Applied — great for tracking progress.
• Keyboard shortcut: Press / to jump to search and type the company or role to find a saved listing quickly.

How to view saved jobs on LinkedIn (Mobile app)

Mobile steps vary slightly between iOS and Android, but the path is the same:

1. Open the LinkedIn app.
2. Tap the bottom Jobs icon (briefcase).
3. Tap Saved or go to My Jobs then the Saved tab to view listings.
4. Tap a listing card to see the full description and application options. Swipe left or tap the bookmark icon to unsave.

Mobile tips

• Push notifications: Enable job alerts from saved searches to get notified about similar openings.
• Quick apply: Use Easy Apply when available from mobile to apply in minutes, then mark the job as applied in My Jobs.
• Offline planning: Save jobs when you discover them on-the-go; review and apply later from desktop if attachments are required.

Manage and organize your saved jobs

LinkedIn’s simple saved list is useful, but high-volume job hunters need a lightweight system to avoid overwhelm. Here are practical organization tactics:

• Daily triage: Each day review 3-5 saved jobs: apply, message a recruiter, or unsave.
• Use My Jobs: Move items from Saved to Applied to track progress and follow up dates.
• Spreadsheet or ATS: Export key data (company, role, link, status, contacts) to a spreadsheet or a free applicant-tracking tool to add notes and follow-up reminders.
• Tagging workaround: LinkedIn doesn’t offer tags on saved jobs. Use your notes field in an external tracker or include shorthand in a private Google Sheet column for priority or outreach status.

Apply, follow up, and convert saved jobs into interviews

Saving is just step one. To convert saved jobs into interviews, combine speed with personalization:

1. Prioritize: Apply first to roles that match you closely and use Easy Apply where appropriate.
2. Customize your application: Tailor your resume and LinkedIn summary to echo the job’s keywords and company values.
3. Network inside: Use saved job company pages to identify hiring managers or colleagues. Send short connection messages referencing a shared interest and the role.
4. Follow up: If you applied, add a follow-up reminder (7-10 days) in your tracker and send a polite check-in message via LinkedIn to the recruiter if available.

Common problems and quick fixes

• Saved jobs not showing: Refresh the Jobs page, clear browser cache, or update the mobile app. If still missing, check LinkedIn Help: LinkedIn Help Center.
• Saved jobs vs applied jobs confusion: Visit My Jobs — it separates Saved and Applied so you can confirm status.
• Bookmarks syncing across devices: Ensure you’re logged into the same account and the app is updated; sign out and back in to force sync.

Use saved jobs strategically with your personal brand

Saved jobs can be more than a to-do list. Combine saved-job research with content that shows your expertise to hiring managers and peers. For example:

• Create posts analyzing industry hiring trends you discover from saved roles.
• Share case studies or short threads that mirror qualifications listed in jobs you’re targeting.
• Automate consistent posts about your skills so hiring managers see evidence of competence — See our plans or Try Linkesy free to generate a 30-day content calendar in minutes.

Troubleshooting checklist

1. Update your LinkedIn app or browser.
2. Confirm you are logged into the correct account.
