Job Search Tracking: Best Option in Office?

[E]

How have you used Office application(s) to best manage and track your job
search?

An Excel spreadsheet seems the "classic" and perhaps still the best option,
but a little bit of automation, reminders, etc., may help. Of course, if
other options are more difficult to set up and maintain, diminshing returns
may come quickly.

If somone does have a solution, please include some details about how to set
up such a thing. Thanks in advance for your expertise.

Outlook is the obvious choice for me. You can send out resumes, mark them
with categories, set follow-up flags on them, attach them to contacts for
activities as well as Journal them. Everything in one program at your
fingertips.

Drag items to the calendar or tasks folder to create an event/appt./meeting
or task.
