when you have more than one job it can
be tricky deciding whether or not to
tell this to your employers it may not
be such a big deal with several
part-time jobs but in some cases it can
be a more delicate subject if your jobs
have schedules that change from week to
week it's probably best to talk with
your employers about your other jobs
this way you can coordinate your various
shifts and prevent them from overlapping
or running too close to one another this
can be especially important if one of
your jobs has a strict schedule or
requires you to occasionally stay late
in some industries you may encounter
something called a non-compete clause
this is a statement in a contract that
prohibits you from working for competing
employers they're mostly found in
businesses dealing with creative work or
sensitive information but you may run
into them in other fields as well if
your contract does contain a non-compete
clause you shouldn't take a second job
in a similar field or do anything that
would violate this agreement if your
employers were to find out about it you
would most likely be fired so let's say
that your jobs are on different days and
that they don't have non-compete clauses
if this is the case you don't really
need to discuss your other jobs with
your employer if you don't want to since
they're not directly affecting one
another it's okay to not bring it up
however if you do decide to let your
employer know there's no need to make a
big deal about it
that could make things awkward instead
consider mentioning it in passing or
working it into conversation but in most
cases talking about your other jobs
isn't something you need to worry about
