--------------------------------------------------

Or: \"As a secondary occupation, she is a seminar manager\"

But I prefer \"part-time\", because it is short and elegant.

Correction: It must read \"seminar leader\" (not \"seminar manager\")

\"She works part-time as a seminar leader.\"

agree  writeaway: jein: not part time because it doesn't convey that this is in addition to another job, but secondary occupation would be ok (is given in Romain too).
6 hrs
neutral  Textklick: With Writeaway - in the U.K. it is often understood as the sole, but part-time occupation. "He only works part time"

agree  Armorel Young: yes, the implications aren't quite the same, but this is the standard UK expression - I've never heard of side-line activities here
