EXHIBIT 31.01


                               CERTIFICATION


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

  1.  I have reviewed this Form 10-QSB quarterly report for
      the period ended December 31, 2005 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.
