                                 CERTIFICATION


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

    1.  I have reviewed this Form 10-QSB quarterly report for the period
        ended June 30, 2006 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 small business issuer as of,
        and for, the periods presented in this report;

    4.  The small business issuer'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 small business issuer 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 small business issuer, 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 small business issuer'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 small business
          issuer's internal control over financial reporting that
          occurred during the small business issuer's most recent fiscal
          quarter (the small business issuer's fourth fiscal quarter in
          the case of an annual report) that has materially affected, or
          is reasonably likely to materially affect, the small business
          issuer's internal control over financial reporting; and


    5.  The small business issuer's other certifying officer(s) and I
        have disclosed, based on our most recent evaluation of internal
        control over financial reporting, to the small business issuer's
        auditors and the audit committee of the small business issuer'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
          small business issuer'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 small business issuer's internal control over financial
          reporting.
