Calculating experience when you had 2 jobs at the same time
Most entry level jobs can require anywhere from 1 - 2 years of experience, some even want 3 - 5 years.
I currently work 2 separate IT jobs. A Tech I position for a college and a Tech II position for a Tax company. Both of which are part time. What I am trying to figure out is, if I work both jobs for a year, will this technically count as 2 years of IT experience total, or will it still only count as having a year of experience?

You would clearly have 1 year of experience split two ways. Still, you might wish to try for jobs requiring more experience. The worst they can say is "No".

It's still one year of experience.
I wouldn't be able to take a years worth of experience and say "it's one year of working on Mondays", "one year of working on Tuesdays", "one year of working on Wednesdays", "one year of working on Thursdays" and "one year of working on Fridays", and count that as five years of experience.
In fact, had you had just one of your part time jobs for a year, that would not count as a year of experience.

This is the right answer for this case. If you had 2 full time jobs, then you could double count.

It’s really hard to say that you had double number of years of experience. You should explain that these two jobs ran concurrently and were part time. Do not list as full time jobs.

It’s really hard to say that you had double number of years of experience. You should explain that these two jobs ran concurrently and were part time. Do not list as full time jobs.
