What counts as work search related activity?

In response to the pandemic, the Department has expanded possible work search related activities, including:

· Attended a job fair hosted by a CareerCenter virtually or in person

· Participated in CareerCenter reemployment services virtually or in person

· Participated in a CareerCenter workshop virtually or in person

· Applied for a job for which you are reasonably qualified

· Interviewed for a job for which you are reasonably qualified

· Contacted an employer about a job opening that you are interested in

Note:

· Reasonably qualified means that you are capable of performing the job based on your education, training, physical ability, and/or past experience

· Browsing the Internet does not by itself count as a work search activity
