Work-search log: how detailed does it need to be? - what worked for you?

I have been applying to about 4 jobs a week as a security officer, but I am unsure what my state wants in the log. My state says to keep records for a year.

I record the date, the company, the job title, how I applied and any contact name. It takes a minute each and it covered me when I was asked for proof.

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