[Browse the store](/toolkits) Who it is for People claiming unemployment in Maryland who need to keep a weekly work search record for Maryland Department of Labor, Division of Unemployment Insurance, and family members helping them stay organized. Not the right fit if You claim unemployment in a state other than Maryland, 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 Maryland work search data file, checked November 2026 against 1 official page: Maryland Department of Labor: Knowing your job 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 - **Maryland weekly work search log (Excel).** A log with the columns Maryland Department of Labor, Division of Unemployment Insurance asks for (Employer or organization, Address, website or email, How you made contact, Person contacted, Their title, Phone, Job title or type of work, Your interest level), a weekly summary that counts your activities against Maryland's 3 per week and a documents checklist. - **Start here: Maryland filing and work search steps.** The 9 facts Maryland Department of Labor, Division of Unemployment Insurance's pages confirm, each with its source and check date.
