WORK SEARCH LOG- For your Personal Records
The following log is for your personal records and will help you keep track of all of the
information that is required for each of your work search contacts. Keep records of your work
search contacts organized in a notebook or folder.
Unless the New Mexico Department of Workforce Solutions specifically exempts you under our
law from work search requirements, to be eligible for benefits you must make a minimum of two
different work search contacts each week that you are certifying your request for benefit
payment.
The Department routinely audits work search requirements. If you are selected during a work
search audit, you will be asked to provide the required information for each of your contacts and
any necessary verification (such as a confirmation page if you are applying for a job online).
If you need assistance looking for work and making your work search contacts, take advantage
of all of the services and resources available in the New Mexico Workforce Connection online
system (www.jobs.state.nm.us
). Use the “Resume Builder” and the “Virtual Recruiter” to start
looking for jobs and matching with employers who have jobs posted in the system.
If you would like to work with the New Mexico Workforce Connection staff on your
employment and career goals, you can go into the New Mexico Workforce Connection center in
your local area. To search for the center nearest to you, go to www.jobs.state.nm.us, and click on
