                        CERTIFICATION


I, Herbert F. Imhoff, Jr., certify that:

  1. I have reviewed this Form 10-K annual report for the
     period ended September 30, 2003 of General Employment
     Enterprises, Inc.;

  2. Based on my knowledge, this report does not contain any
     untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a
     material fact necessary to make the statements made, in
     light of the circumstances under which such statements were
     made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by
     this report;

  3. Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and
     other financial information included in this report, fairly
     present in all material respects the financial condition,
     results of operations and cash flows of the registrant as
     of, and for, the periods presented in this report;

  4. The registrant's other certifying officer(s) and I are
     responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure
     controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules
     13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for the registrant and have:

       (a) Designed such disclosure controls and
       procedures, or caused such disclosure controls and
       procedures to be designed under our supervision, to
       ensure that material information relating to the
       registrant, including its consolidated subsidiaries,
       is made known to us by others within those entities,
       particularly during the period in which this report
       is being prepared;

       (b) Evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant's
       disclosure controls and procedures and presented in
       this report our conclusions about the effectiveness
       of the disclosure controls and procedures, as of the
       end of the period covered by this report based on
       such evaluation; and

       (c) Disclosed in this report any change in
       the registrant's internal control over
       financial reporting that occurred during the
       registrant's most recent fiscal quarter (the
       registrant's fourth fiscal quarter in the
       case of an annual report) that has materially
       affected, or is reasonably likely to
       materially affect, the registrant's internal
       control over financial reporting; and

  5. The registrant's other certifying officer(s)
     and I have disclosed, based on our most recent
     evaluation of internal control over financial
     reporting, to the registrant's auditors and
     the audit committee of the registrant's board
     of directors (or persons performing the
     equivalent functions):

       (a) All significant deficiencies and
       material weaknesses in the design or
       operation of internal control over financial
       reporting which are reasonably likely to
       adversely affect the registrant's ability to
       record, process, summarize and report
       financial information; and

       (b) Any fraud, whether or not material, that
       involves management or other employees who
       have a significant role in the registrant's
       internal control over financial reporting.
