Have you gone though PM training or certification?  If you don't have a lot of PM experience, I suggest looking into getting your Project Management Professional (PMP) Certification.  It will look great on your resume. Go to http://www.pmi.org/info/PDC_PMP.asp for more info.

Give examples of how you have displayed these skills in your previous work. Tell, or write (if you are introducing yourself via cover letter) about projects that you've been involved with, how you communicated with the team, the boss, the client; how you managed the project or your portion of the project. Describe your own unique way of organizing your time and the elements of your work, and be sure that your language and grammar are appropriate and correct.\n\nGood luck!

Write down a plan or your intentions on a piece of paper with the time at which they should be started and completed. That sounds easy, but the most important thing is sticking to it. And also, make it a habit to do this.

1) Strong communication skills. Both written and verbal. Look for opportunities to do speaking in front of a group. The quiet ones stay in the corner. Readers are leaders, so get your nose into some development books.\n\n2) Dedication. Do whatever it takes to get the job done. Whatever amount of hours. Give all of yourself to the job. Don't just have the attitude of I'm working my 8 hours and I'm gone.\n\n3) Be a team player. You can't succeed by yourself. Help others on your team be successful. "You can have anything in life you want if you help enough other people get, what they want" -quote from Zig Ziglar.\n\n4) Treat others with respect. Remember the names of people you just met. Take a genuine interest in them. Read How to win friends and influence people by Dale Carnegie and practice what is in there.\n\n5) Be someone that other people want to be around. Make your work environment as fun as it can be.

Regardless of topic or size, one of the first steps to a successful project is breaking down the work to be done into manageable chunks.  Official terminology calls this decomposing the project.  It involves taking the scope, resources and time, putting them into a work breakdown structure (WBS) and creating a project plan.\n\nThere are tons of resources on the topic of project management on the web.  A few great starting points are the links below.  Of course, a search engine, can help you with specific problems.

There are many places to find project management related templates on the web.  Some are free, some are not.\n\nSince it sounds like you are new as a project manager, my recommendation would be to start with a project charter document, which will help you to define and understand the scope of your project.  \n\nI'll include a link below to a project charter template. (other forms are also listed on this page.)\n\nYou may also find the second link a useful description of the project management process.
