Many managers who get laid off have difficulty finding the right opportunity to get back to work. This is especially true for older workers who can become victims of age discrimination. One of the most successful approaches to avoid this is to get into a career where the need is much larger than the supply and the hiring inclination is for a older worker instead of the young kid. Project Management is such a career. 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 number of professions: construction, information technology, medical, marketing and more. It is your ability to lead a project and do the initiating and planning, controlling and execution that is in great need.
