Not sure if my job search activity counts - 8 months and counting

I am keeping a spreadsheet of applications, but I worry it is not what the agency expects. There are 18 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. My state says to keep records for a year.

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

Keep everything in writing and save the confirmation numbers. It saved me later.
