On Wednesday, May 27, 2009, at 12:00 Noon, I will be hosting my show The Advocates on WVOX- 1460 AM, and you can also listen to the program live- streaming on www.wvox.com. One can call the show at 914-636-0110 to reach us on the radio. Our guest today is Paula Marks and our subject is the power of “Networking” and her belief that, “behavior drives business, and business drives behavior.” Paula's career in executive search spans three decades and includes partnership and president positions held in other significant executive search organizations. Her professional background incorporates a valuable blend of corporate and professional service firm experiences…a combination that has shaped Paula's perspective and understanding of the business world from both the client and service provider point of view. Prior to entering the executive search arena in 1985, Paula held director level positions within corporate human resources divisions where she developed generalist and staffing knowledge and skills. Though Paula's primary practice areas are centered around human resources and retail, she has successfully conducted many searches in all areas of general management. Her clients include many Fortune 50 companies.
Paula's expertise falls mainly into the areas of staffing, employee relations, retention and workplace enhancement. It's an expertise that is sought by and widely shared with others. This includes guest appearances on:
- CNN Financial News
- Lifetime TV
- Fox 5's Good Day New York
- MSNBC
- Regular broadcasts on WPAT's talk radio program – “Career Corner”
- Contributing editor to Vault.com, a premier on-line human resources organization
- Upcoming article in USA Today Sunday Magazine Section
Of great importance is the generous time that Paula gives back to her community doing volunteer work. She regularly conducts out-reach programs and workshops in career counseling and job search activities assisting individuals from all walks of life, such as:
- Weekly coaching seminar at Moonstruck East Restaurant, 31st Street and Third Avenue, NYC – Monday evenings 6:30-8:00pm commencing March 19th – Call 212-889-6570 for reservations
- “Career Management” event February 20, 2001 – Borders Bookstore
- “Everybody Wins” – one on one reading partner in NYC school system
- “NOW” – career coach From Welfare to Work
Paula is a member of Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) and The Fashion Group International (FGI).
Meanwhile, the mission of The Advocates is to bring to the public differing views on current public policy issues. Public policy, therefore, is what we as a nation legally and traditionally follow.
