Enhanced Washington State Employment Security Department Job Search Log

With as many people having to fill out the Washington State Employment Security Department's Job Search logs each week, one would think there would be a digital version of the form. Not just a version you can fill out and print, but a version that allows you to also save the information you added. Unable to find an Acrobat Reader Extended .PDF, I created one. With this version you can not only enter your search contact information and print the forms, but you can also save the forms with the entered information as well. I recommend creating a file (with SAVE-AS) for each week. You will still have to print these off for when you are audited.
