Many professionals who get laid off have difficulty finding 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 avoid this is to get into a field where the demand 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 market there is a large demand which creates a significant number of opportunities as long as you are certified. They work in a variety 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.
