“Valerie and the JSMN were of great value to me during my recent time of unemployment. She had excellent suggestions, a good attitude, and a kind heart to help me through a very difficult chapter of my life.” Rusty J.
“Today I heard Valerie Plis, from Job Search Ministry Network, speak about “How to Market Yourself with Confidence and Enthusiasm by Identifying Your Remarkable Strengths DNA.” She spoke to the Job Seekers at Fairhaven group in Centerville, OH where I am a member. Valerie is a Master Certified Career Coach, who spoke to us about identifying your strengths, knowing the difference between strengths vs. experience/skills, finding the theme, so you can present a clear, concise impact statement highlighting your unique value and contribution. With Valerie were two team members, Chamina Smith and Cathi Bentz. These ladies blew me away! Their presentation was incredible, the applause enthusiastic – I fully expected the group to give them a standing ovation! Check out their website, contact them – you don’t want to miss the opportunity to hear them. When I emailed Valerie to sum up my thanks, I closed with what I believe was at the heart of their ministry. As I close, Scripture comes to mind: The Bible says the Truth will set us free. As a parallel, what you are doing is setting many free: free from confusing skills with talents, free to see the strengths and giftings God gave us, free to see how it all fits together. So now we can see the Masterpiece ... instead of just the snarls and knots on the "backside of the embroidery!" Barbara L.
"I was very pleased to attend the "Critical Job Search Training for Tough Times" by Valerie last week. The training was truly in depth and very much to the point. Valerie is a goldmine of information and extremely knowledgeable. I had emailed her once before I attended her training regarding specific questions that I had about the interview process. She not only emailed me back right away with the answer but she also wanted to get my feedback once I had gone through with the interview process and how well I did. I was very pleased by her generosity and willingness share her knowledge, expertise and to make sure I got the answer that I was looking for. I would recommend Valerie to anyone for having such great work ethics! I would highly recommend to others to attend this job search training.” Chhaya P.

She shared her 20+ years of experience with us in a 15-hour seminar series, which I wish I had had when I first joined the job seeker market.
