Many managers who get laid off struggle to find the right opportunity to get back to work. This is a bigger problem for older workers who can become victims of age discrimination. One of the most successful methods to avoid this is to get into a career where the demand is much bigger than the number of people who are qualified and the hiring inclination is for a older employee instead of the young kid. Project Management is such an opportunity. In the Tampa/St. Petersburg jobmarket there is a sizable demand which creates a significant number of openings as long as you are qualified. They work in a variety of fields: construction, information technology, medical, marketing and more. It is your ability to shepherd a project and do the initiating and planning, controlling and execution that is in great demand.
