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."
