I worked two jobs at the same time; how do I list them on my resume? They both were security jobs and I basically did the same thing... how do I list that on my resume?

Well... you can list them as two separate jobs, which they are, or alternatively, you could list both employers/job titles, with only one set of bulleted responsibilities, like so:

XYZ Security, Chicago, IL, July 2008 to present
ABC Security, Springfield, IL, August 2008 to present

First responsibility

Second responsibility

And so on...

Then, you could explain in the cover letter that your grouped the two jobs because they were essentially the same, although for two different employers.

To your success,
