James GonyeaAbout James Gonyea...

For 38 years, James Gonyea has been a specialist in the field of career guidance with a record of helping millions of people select a career direction in line with their personality style, find and secure employment and advance their career development and success.  To accomplish these goals, James has held teaching, counseling and administration positions in education; as well as a twenty year sprint as a successful entrepreneur in the Internet (.com) industry.

James is most recognized for his pioneering work with America Online (AOL) in the development and management of America's first commercial online career guidance service.  From 1989 to 2001, James, with a staff of nearly 100 career experts, created the AOL Career Center (later to be known as the Gonyea Online Career Center) and served the career and employment needs of millions of subscribers nationwide.  For his pioneering work, James was awarded AOL's Members Choice Award for developing one of AOL's most popular services, and became known as the "father of online career guidance."

James has also served as a consulting career development advisor to Monster.com, Apple eWorld and Walt Disney World, and is also a successful publisher of books, software and personal assessment inventories on subjects ranging from career guidance, online job hunting to starting and operating a business on the Internet.

Today, James spends his time co-managing the Internet Career Connection website and providing career development guidance to college students and adults at a major college in St. Petersburg, Florida.

About Pam Gonyea...

While not as well known to the general public, Pam Gonyea nonetheless plays a critical role in the daily operation and overall success of Gonyea & Associates.

Leaving a successful career as Director of Marketing for a New Hampshire bank, Pam left corporate America to join her husband in bringing career development services to the then fledgling Internet.  Using her business knowledge and expertise, Pam was instrumental in helping James develop the Gonyea Online Career Center on America Online (AOL) into a resource valued at more than $105 million dollars per year.

With a passion for detail and excellence, and a belief in the yet unproven use of the Internet for career and employment purposes, Pam hand coded thousands of help wanted ads and candidate resumes and spent days and nights uploading data using very slow modems to help create America Online's first online Job Bank and Resume Bank.

Today, Pamela spends her time co-managing the Internet Career Connection, as well as operating her own successful electronic resume distribution service and enjoying a few hours of well deserved "retirement."
