How do I show side jobs in my resume?

I have completed different accomplishments whilst working at 2 different companies over the last 5 years. They are important as they are accomplishments that pertain to my job qualifications. However, they are not a part of these main jobs.
For example: I wrote for a magazine 6 times a year for two years. I was a diet consultant for a food producer. I taught at a Fitness Centre as a diet consultant and aerobics instructor.
My question is how do I incorporate this information into my resume please?
Answer: I see no reason why you could not include these "side jobs" in your chronological work history. But if you don't want to do that, then you could create a separate section entitled something like "Other Accomplishments" and list them there. Alternatively, you could just mention them in your cover letter.
