Job Search Log

Job Search Log and Requirements

  • You must be job searching the number of hours listed on your TANF Plan each week.

  • If you gain employment or are already employed, you must have an Employment Status Verification Form completed by your employer and turned in within 10 days of the start date.

  • Please document all job search efforts on the Job Search Log and provide it as verification of all your hard work towards your employment goal when you turn in your monthly time sheets.

    • It is a good idea to keep track of all your job searching activities as they happen so you can use it as a tool to remind you of which employers you need to contact again to check the status of the position (including workshops, applications, interviews, contact with Employment Services, etc.)
