Many managers who get laid off experience great challenges in trying to find the right opportunity to get back to work. This is even more an issue for workers over 50 who can become victims of age discrimination. One of the best techniques to get around this is to get into a field where the need is much bigger than the amount of people who are certified and the hiring preference 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 large demand which creates many openings 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 need.
