Work-search log: how detailed does it need to be?, nurse's aide here

The certification asks how many work-search activities I did and I do not know what qualifies. This is my first time dealing with any of this. My state says to keep records for a year. What do you record?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 11 months ago, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
