multiple jobs

Juggling many positions

Multiple jobs refers to the situation of holding more than one paid position simultaneously, typically to increase income or gain diverse experience.

Someone working multiple jobs might have a full-time position plus evening or weekend work.

The phrase often implies financial necessity: She's juggling multiple jobs just to make rent.

Also called moonlighting when the second job is held secretly or unofficially.
