What counts as a work search for weekly certification? after 17 years as a mechanic

I have been applying to about 17 jobs a week as a mechanic, but I am unsure what my state wants in the log. I also did a résumé workshop at the library. What do you record?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it last year, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.

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