Associate Project Manager Job Questions & Answers

Sort by:
I have a state certified residential contractors license and a state real estate associate license. I was formerly a project manager supervising multiple superintendents for a national builder. I left my job voluntarily 4 years ago to travel in Central America and am now in the job market but the few jobs offered are for superintendents rather than project managers. Can I overcome this hurdle?
