1. Evaluate your skills and experience. Use this information to figure out what types of project management jobs you will qualify for. For example, if you have a degree in accounting and experience working with a C.P.A. firm, then you will be more qualified for managing a project that deals with numbers than you would a project that deals with personnel issues.

2. Search your local job finding resources for possible leads. Your local newspaper will have listings for available project management jobs posted under "Professional Positions" or "Technical Positions." The category that you will need to look under will depend on the types of projects you want to management.

3. Take advantage of your local employment agencies. You will have the best luck using employment agencies that focus on skilled professionals and white-collar jobs, as opposed to using a temp service. You may also want to visit your local government job service. Here you will find job listings for federal, state and local government project management jobs.

For example, you may want to search for project management jobs in Chicago that are full time and pay over $80,000 a year. On the other hand, you may be more interested in a project management job in Seattle that is 30 hours a week or less and that pays between $40,000 and $60,000 a year.
