How it's used
Functions as a verb phrase meaning to hold an additional position or take on extra duties alongside one's primary role. It implies a sense of over-commitment or juggling multiple responsibilities at once. It is often used to describe someone who is hardworking or perhaps spread too thin.
Examples
His job pays well, and he even works a part-time tutoring job on the side.
You are already so busy, are you taking on these extra chores too?

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with the adverb 仲有, which simply means 'also' or 'still have'. 仲兼 specifically requires the sense of holding a concurrent role or job.
