Work search activities
Work search activities can be in person or virtual and may include the following:
- Contacting an employer for full-time work.
- You must have at least 1 employer contact in your weekly efforts.
- Remember, a job interview is not an employer contact as it duplicates efforts. You already counted that employer contact when you applied for the job.
- Attending a workshop or participating in reemployment activities provided by an American Job Center; or searching job postings.
- Attending a job fair or a networking event held by a formal organization like an industry association.
- Creating a reemployment plan.

- This counts as a work search activity, but not an employer contact as it is duplicate effort in contacting the employer for the interview.

- Creating a personal user profile on a professional networking site.
