March Member Spotlight
Carly Planker
Carly currently works for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts doing the work that most people only read about in their I/O textbooks, job analysis! Through research, surveys, and focus groups she works to understand various job titles within different public safety departments across the state. One of the main purposes of job analysis work is to develop exams and promotional processes that are job relevant. Additionally, she is passionate about evaluation and looking through the data to find out if they are meeting the objectives with each exam.
She received her Master's degree in Industrial and Organizational Psychology from SUNY Albany. This is a second career for her, as she used to work in event planning. She finds her interpersonal skills to be a huge asset in her current role and enjoys getting to know stakeholders and understanding their perspectives. When she is not working, she is listening to over 8 hours of podcasts every week, going to spin class, and exploring Boston.
