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 March 31, 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.
