You don't. But you never know that for sure. The whole interview process is just gathering data to make an estimate about whether or not the person will successfully perform in the role. Them having another job would be almost the strongest indicator I could imagine that they will not be successful.

As mentioned elsewhere in this thread, many people successfully work multiple jobs.

Firstly I'd imagine there's actually a minuscule number of people who actually do that successfully. But even so, the fact that some can pull it off doesn't mean that it's not a very strong indicator toward poor performance.
