If I can avoid telling a potential employer i have a job I will. I have to make sure that I can swing the schedule around my first job or one job has to be remote. I don’t know why employers are surprised so many of us have to have multiple jobs, but they get really upset.
Most employment contracts have a clause asking you tell your employer. This is so they can check there is no conflict and for health reasons so you are not burnt out and unable to commit to your original role.
I always disclose it. I think it's important, and I don't want to be blindsided by taking a cavalier approach to employment and losing both jobs.

Yeah, I took that approach for years with no luck in getting hired

Most employers have a clause in your contract or internal policy that asks that you tell them. Key reasons to ensure there is no conflict and to make sure you are not burnt out working all hours and then too tired to fully contribute to your role with them.
