What counts as a work search for weekly certification? - any advice?

I have been applying to about 12 jobs a week as a welding apprentice, but I am unsure what my state wants in the log. I worked as a welding apprentice before this. Some days I only network by email or attend a job fair. Do interviews and workshops count?

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