It is much more difficult to get into management than to get a night shift job or even a day scoring job.

Teching for a number of years, even with RPSGT and BA won't be enough.

I heartily agree with RPSGT's response that willingness to move helps a great deal.

Take an impassionate look at your resume. Do you have scoring experience, have you taken the lead in projects that you can boast about: organizing info booths at healthfairs, running support groups, helping your current manager with QA Program, or even organizing staff picnics or outings. To get noticed among your competition of experienced managers, you have to demonstrate at least some leadership/management abilities. Even extra curricular stuff like little league coach can show these skills. How about business or management seminars or classes? Sometimes employers have classes for new or potential managers. Sometimes you can find on-line courses.

When you do find a potential position, walk the fine line between being enthusiastic without being bothersome. A phonecall to be sure your resume was received helps. So does a thank you note after an interview.
