Body: <p>I am not sure if i need a plugin to accomplish a specific task or if Craft CMS can natively handle this task. </p>
  
  <p>I created bios for people in a channel of bios. Each entry has a Job Title text field to store a single job title. </p>
  
  <p>So, I want to store a list or array of multiple job titles for each person/entry. Then, I want to choose which job title is rendered when I use the entries field to select a bio to render.</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas? Thank you.</p>

  Probably a dozen different ways to tackle this, but I'd probably use Craft's flexible [relationship](https://craftcms.com/docs/relations) engine by creating a `Bios` channel and a `Jobs` channel.
  
  The `Bios` channel would have an [entries field](https://craftcms.com/docs/entries-fields) assigned to its field layout with its source set to `Jobs` and it would allow for multiple selections.
  
  Then, when creating a new `Bios` entry, you'd select the `Job`(s) for that person.
  
  You could pull them out into the front-end however you'd like at that point.
