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, 2007 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.
