Work-search log: how detailed does it need to be? after 11 years as an electrician's helper

I am keeping a spreadsheet of applications, but I worry it is not what the agency expects. 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.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 4 months ago, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
