I find that employers are always looking for candidates with relevant experience (maybe not so for junior/ entry positions), so it's difficult to venture into a different area even if the candidate is keen.
Of course lah... Jeez they are looking to pay someone to do a job that needs to be done now. Why would they pay someone who has never done the job before just because you want to "venture into a different area"? I am surprise that many PMEs I met who are already middle age and work for many years seem stunned about this simple reality.
