How to put two simultaneous jobs on your resume?

So I worked full time for a company up until summer when I got a job offer at a better company, my original company asked if I would like to be their weekend guy which I accepted, so since then I have worked full time at company B and weekends for company A.

How would you put this on your resume? I do not want to put (weekends) in parenthesis beside company A since I worked fulltime for them for a year, but if I leave it out it will leave confusion to what my fulltime company is.... should I just put them both on the resume as normal and discuss this in the interview when they ask?

I would list both and then clarify in the interview. That just seems the best choice to me.

I second this.
I list my primary job at the top. This is my 8-5 position. Under that I list "Consultant" and have my clients listed in order by how long they have been clients. This also gets the conflict of interest and the fact that I do work outside of business hours out of the way in the interview. Everything is on the table and there are no surprises. I have walked away from good jobs opportunities because they told me I can't do side jobs because it's a conflict of interest. Especially when it comes to discussing salary and how much more they will have to pay me to give up my clients. Add an extra $25k to the salary and they all of a sudden don't mind the side jobs so much.

Put the clarification in your cover letter, if you have one.

Unless the weekend work is particularly valuable for your resume, you might want to just omit it to avoid confusion. Although one downside to this is that you will have some explaining to do if a prospective employer does a background check (this situation happened to me and it was no big deal and I still got an offer).

AH HA! A fellow IT person, it's a small market here. If I haven't met you yet i'll probably run into you at some point lol. Walked in for an interview today and spotted at least 3 people I already knew. The guy that interviewed me also knew the IT director at my last job who I spoke with on occasion. It is a small world.

Well i'd like to keep both jobs on my resume since I work with different technologies for each job, one is in the medical field and one is in the financial field. Plus, I think that an interviewer would be impressed that i've been able to work 7 days a week for almost a year now performing well at both positions, it shows that I have a good work ethic..... well at least that's what i'm hoping an interviewer will think lol.
