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 June 30, 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 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
      of internal control over financial reporting, 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.
