You might apply for 100 employers in a given job search before landing a new job in a major metropolitan area!  Moreover, you will be in varying stages of the selection process with different employers throughout the course of your search. Following up with your application, notating who you spoke to for a status update, knowing when your interview was, and analyzing outcomes are crucial data for an organized and targeted job search.  Worse of all, you don't want an employer to finally call you for an interview - only for you not to remember that you applied for them at all!
