The Pursuit Network™ is unique, donation-based ministry that is answer to every job seeker’s need for ongoing direction, focus, and accountability to keep you on the path to job search success! This network of like-minded professionals meets twice a month from
9 -- 11:00am where they engage in a:
- detailed, highly-interactive training session (including role plays and mock interviews) facilitated by Master Certified Career Coach Valerie Plis to reinforce a critical job search strategy.
- high-impact networking session where all attendees use the same high-powered networking tools and strategies designed to create meaningful connections and generate high-quality networking leads.
- structured, small-group coaching session designed to provide ongoing direction, support and accountability during the job search pursuit.
What is the "Recommended Donation?"
This type of quality training and support from a Professional Career Coach would easily cost you $299 to $450 PER MONTH! This added expense to an already-strained budget is simply not feasible for many people. Through the Job Search Ministry you can engage in 2 hours of professional training and support for a recommended donation of $10 per meeting. Your donation helps to defer the operating expenses of the ministry and helps to equip the Faith Career Advisor with the latest "need-to-know" information and resources to better support you in the job search!

The Pursuit Network™
Phase 2 of the Serious Job Search Commitment
Think about it … you rush out of the office headed to an important off-site meeting. Unfortunately, you get behind every slow car, you get stopped by every traffic light, and you just heard on the radio that traffic ahead is completely stopped. Although it would be easy to get frustrated, you remain calm. You reach for your GPS system and hit RECALCULATE to find an alternate route that will help you bypass the pending crisis.
The alternate route is a well-constructed super highway where everyone is driving in the same direction … following the same rules … reaching maximum speed ... allowing you to reach your destination on time! This, my friend, is The Pursuit Network™.
“I highly recommend Valerie Plis as a Career Coach. I attended Valerie's Boot Camp in March and she added a different perspective to the job search process that I had never experienced before. Her coaching on how my Strength's Finder Assessment relates to what I thought I wanted to do confirmed that belief and improved my ability to communicate it. Thank you Valerie. I believe you are doing what God has planned for you to do all along, helping people like me.”
