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

  1. I have reviewed this Form 10-Q quarterly report for the
     period ended June 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, 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.
