I've overheard this in a Bar - that they are willing to expand into a country which I know well and which I speak the language of. I presume they were employees of the company. I really would want to hop on the train to be honest, with the current job-climate and all. But I don't know how to go about. Should I just send an e-mail to the Development Manager explaining that I have experience over there and that I could be of help ? Any suggestions are welcomed

I have been working as a software developer (now as technical lead from last 1 years) from last 10+ years. In these 10 years I gained some experience doing project management, new hires, resource management, and technology decisions but nothing "formal" or something that my position title would reflect. I want to make my next move and try for a Development Manager or Project Manager. How should I go about it? Would some sort of certification help me to increase my chances?

1) Working as a business development account manager for a healthcare staffing firm $23.50 an hour. 2) Working from home selling health/life insurance over the phone and computer for an agency that pays $5000 a month guaranteed if I hit the target. If not, I don't have a job. If I hit the target, they pay commission on top of that $5000 if my commission is higher and make me a sales manager.
