Not sure if my job search activity counts after 7 years as a mechanic

The certification asks how many work-search activities I did and I do not know what qualifies. I have been trying to stay organised about it. My state says to keep records for a year.

I was asked for my log once, after six months. Having it in a spreadsheet made it painless.

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