I applied one job. The client wants the freelancers to send email to his email address directly. So I sent to him my CV. Today I got reply from him. I was trying to go back the job postings to check more details about this client and the job description. But I could not find it. So I just wonder if there is a better way that I can find the job I applied instead of manually looking through all the jobs? such as searching the client's email that he put on the job posting(I tried, but did not work)...

1. I have my notification settings set up to send me notifications by e-mail of any job that I might qualify for. The notification does not contain information about the job except a URL.
2. Jobs are eventually removed from the list, but I'm not sure how long it takes for that to happen. When I try to visit job URLs for jobs that I was notified about e.g. 2 years ago, those jobs no longer have any records.
3. Apart from looking through the list of jobs, you can search/filter the jobs:
- https://www.proz.com/language-jobs (new interface)
- https://www.proz.com/translation-jobs (old interface)
4. It's also a good idea for your own records to save a copy of the job post or take a screenshot of it.

I've mentioned this several times in forum posts and I believe I sent a Support Ticket too. It would be helpful if you did the same.

IMO, it's a real deficiency of the job system. If you were eligible to quote on the job, you should have the right to save a copy of its requirements in your quotes list. Otherwise, you've lost a part of the audit trail when the job is removed from public display. Screenshots shouldn't be essential.

Thanks for all the suggestions. One following up question:
Why I got the different results from the below two URLs(please check the attached screenshots):
- https://www.proz.com/language-jobs (new interface)
new

- https://www.proz.com/translation-jobs (old interface)
old
