For what it's worth...been out placed four times...


Mostly due to mergers. You'll do fine. Stash the cash (severance) and hustle with your connections slash network. I can remember making forty (40) calls from the out placement center. If you have access to one, use it. Just let it become a day care center. Most valuable out placement benefit was mock interviews. The older you get the harder it gets due to age discrimination. Make a list of accomplishments and try to give them a monetary value which is very meaningful to prospective employers. I live in Charlotte now due to a merger that I survived. Project Management has applications in many fields and I'm sure it helps to be certified. Good luck my friend.
