I am trying to create a workflow that will read all jobs under the Applied to section, and extract that data into my Excel worksheet. I also want to be able to update this data as I get calls and interviews, and even those “thanks but no thanks” emails. I previously used Power Query on this. But that involved my manually entering each application data into my spreadsheet. How To linkedin #jobapplication excel
Welcome to the Make community!
I would suggest completing the Make Academy before jumping into building a complete scenario. If you need specific assistance when you are building a scenario it’s easier to help you then. Otherwise, you can also hire a professional by posting a request in the Hire a Pro category.
Here are some useful links and guides you can use to learn more on how to use the Make platform, apps, and app modules. I found these useful when I was learning Make, and hope they might benefit you too —

P.S.: Did you know, the concepts of about 70% of questions asked on this forum are already covered in the Make Academy. Investing some effort into it will save you lots of time and frustration using Make later!
Here are a list of tools I suggest you can use to get started on building out this automation.
Browse.AI - To scrape the Applied to section on your Linkedin Profile
Airtable - Use this instead of Excel. You can build out tasks that can be updated as you get interviews.
Hope this helps!
