Many professionals who get laid off have a hard time finding the right opportunity to get back in the workforce. This is even more an issue for workers over 50 who can become victims of age discrimination. One of the most successful techniques to avoid this is to get into a field where the need is much bigger than the supply and the hiring inclination is for a older worker instead of the young kid. Project Management is such an opportunity. In the Tampa/St. Petersburg jobmarket there is a big demand which creates many opportunities as long as you are qualified. They work in a number of areas: construction, information technology, medical, marketing and more. It is your ability to manage a project and do the initiating and planning, controlling and execution that is in great need.
