Many managers who get laid off struggle to find the right opportunity to get their career back on track. This is a bigger problem for older workers who can become victims of age discrimination. One of the best ways to counter this is to get into a field where the demand is much larger than the supply and the hiring preference 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 large demand which creates a lot of opportunities as long as you are qualified. They work in an assortment of professions: construction, information technology, medical, marketing and more. It is your ability to drive a project and do the initiating and planning, controlling and execution that is in great demand.
