Anonymous Monk,
This seems like what you want, but if not - say so and I will try something else: 

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;

open (INPUT,"jobs.txt") or die "Unable to open input : $!";
open (OUTPUT,"jobs.txt") or die "Unable to open output : $!";
select OUTPUT;
$\ = "\n";

while (<INPUT>) {
    chomp;
    my @fields = split /\t/;
    unless (@fields > 2) {
        print join "\t" , @fields;
    }
    else {
       my $firstfield = shift @fields;
       while (my $nextfield = shift @fields) {
           print $firstfield, "\t", $nextfield;
       }
    }
}
close INPUT;
close OUTPUT;

Cheers - L~R

Update: Both vladb++ and pzbagel++ have simpler solutions than this. The only thing I would point out is you said tab delimited.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
