Many professionals who get laid off experience great challenges in trying to find the right opportunity to get their career back on track. This is especially true for older workers who can become victims of age discrimination. One of the most successful techniques to get around this is to get into a career where the demand is much bigger than the supply and the hiring preference is for a older employee instead of the young kid. Project Management is such a career. In the Tampa/St. Petersburg market there is a large demand which creates many openings as long as you are qualified. They work in a variety of professions: 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 demand.
