As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. The links on this page go to Amazon search results and carry our Amazon Associates tracking ID. If you buy something after clicking one, Amazon pays this site a small commission. It costs you nothing extra, and we do not pick products in return for payment from any seller.
That is a financial interest, and you should weigh what is below knowing it. Nothing here is a recommendation of a particular brand or product.
First, what the program asks of you
What counts as a work search contact, how many you need each week and what you must be able to show are set by the state — see our work search and appeals page and confirm with the program. Nothing below is required, and the state's own forms are free.
A record you can show
A dedicated notebook or planner makes it easier to write down each contact the day it happens, including the date, the employer and what you did.
If you need to print
Many applications are online, but some employers still want paper, and you may want a copy of what you submit.
