[Browse the store](/toolkits) Who it is for People claiming unemployment in Colorado who need to keep a weekly work search record for Colorado Department of Labor and Employment (CDLE), and family members helping them stay organized. Not the right fit if You claim unemployment in a state other than Colorado, or you need help with a denied claim or an appeal: this organizes the weekly work search record and doesn't advise on eligibility. Why it is different - Built only from our Colorado work search data file, checked November 2026 against 1 official page: CDLE: Work search requirements. - Every item in the checklist is confirmed on an official page and linked to it. - The Excel summary flags any week with fewer than 3 logged activities, recalculating with zero formula errors. What is inside - **Colorado weekly work search log (Excel).** A log with the columns Colorado Department of Labor and Employment (CDLE) asks for (Employer or organization, Address, website or email, Phone, Person contacted, Their title, Job title or type of work, How you made contact, Result, Proof kept), a weekly summary that counts your activities against Colorado's 3 to 5 per week and a documents checklist. - **Start here: Colorado filing and work search steps.** The 9 facts Colorado Department of Labor and Employment (CDLE)'s pages confirm, each with its source and check date. The weekly requirement, in the agency's words: CDLE recommends at least 3 to 5 work-search activities a week; another section of the same page recommends at least 5. You report them when you request payment each week. How to report: You're asked to report the activities you completed when you request payment each week. Activities Colorado counts: applying for a job you're reasonably qualified for; interviewing for a job you're reasonably qualified for; taking a required exam for a new job; contacting an employer who may have suitable work to ask whether it's hiring; being referred to a job by a workforce center or similar service; adding a résumé to an online job board; documented use of online career tools; reemployment services at a workforce center; job-related education or skills development; creating a profile on a professional networking site; job-related networking events. Records: Your claim may be audited and your reported activities verified at any time up to two years from the start of your claim, so save your records. Job bank: Connecting Colorado (registration required). Who may not have to search, per the agency: approved training may reduce the number of activities you must do each week (ask your local workforce center); job-attached or union-attached claimants may have the requirement waived if they can return to work within 16 weeks. - **Documents to gather.** A checklist of the papers a claim usually asks for (IDs, employer names and dates, pay records, separation papers), with space for anything Colorado's application adds. - **Printable weekly work search log.** A paper version of the log with Colorado's columns, one week per page, for claimants who prefer to write it down.
