How can I get a weekend job as a project manager?

The qualifications you need to get a weekend job as a project manager depend on the field in which you work. For example, if you work on business development projects, you need at least a bachelor’s degree in business, finance, or a related discipline, though many employers prefer candidates with a master's degree. Tech or software development projects require project managers with an IT or computer science background. All weekend project managers need management and organizational skills and must be willing to work on Saturday and Sunday. Certification is not required, but becoming a Project Management Professional (PMP) through the Project Management Institute or earning a similar designation may make you more competitive in the job market.
