Not sure if my job search activity counts

I am keeping a spreadsheet of applications, but I worry it is not what the agency expects. I have been trying to stay organised about it. My state says to keep records for a year. What do you record?

I record the date, the company, the job title, how I applied and any contact name. It takes a minute each and it covered me when I was asked for proof.

Check the handbook on your state's claim site. It lists what counts in my state, and workshops were on the list.
