What industry could I pursue a career in with my Facilities Management experience & background?
Asked by mooshnick
My past work experience has been at least 10 years of facilities management experience, it just appears that I'm having a time trying to figure out what industry I might be able to work in where I can build upon my experience.

Best Answer:
10 years at the same job is great for any resume! There are a lot of ways you can go - the question is where do you want to go? The management part alone can take you into new careers - do you like kids? Have you thought of trying the YMCA or the local city Parks Department? The Post Office might be an easy transition and I understand they have great benefits.
