  I was hired to manage commercial projects, such as Philadelphia Premium Outlets in Limerick, and to also mentor junior staff members for a 'newer' senior PM at Bohler: After spending several enjoyable and productive years there I was subsequently let go the same week my supervisor announced he was departing. These events transpired at the same time the housing market had already begun to collapse and the new commercial work coming in was becoming anemic.
