Can you conjugate two verbs next to one another?

I was looking through this Spanish book and it was explaining this sentence structure:
verb in present tense + desde hace + expression of time
Then listed this example:
-¿Desde cuándo buscas trabajo? -Busco trabajo desde hace un mes.
I thought you couldn't conjugate two verbs next to one another. Is this example correct?

In this case "trabajo" is a noun, not a conjugation of "trabajar".
But to address your question. Yes you can. All perfect tenses (he terminado) and the present continuious (estoy escribiendo) tense have two conjugated verbs. There are other cases where you can do it as well but they are rather limited.
