Part Time Job -- An Alternative Way Of Life In The Workplace

Now, most of us are used to the nine to five, weekend weekend, a job and a salary.

Core strengths: the perfect combination of personal interest and making money

Some people work part time to earn more income, others to combine work and interests.

In spare time, computer engineers are "online gamers". They are good at plating foreign languages, part-time white-collar advisors in foreign companies, etc.

Proper part-time jobs are like seasonings to provide people with the possibility of switching channels between different working environments, forms, contents and pleasures.

Some people find that they are more suitable for another occupation after a part-time job, thus opening up new development space.

Market environment: loose

In the past few years, if I work part-time, I may still be engaged in "underground work". But now, in Beijing, Shanghai and other big cities, part-time job has become a fashion.

Apart from the dispute over whether part-time jobs such as doctors, government civil servants, teachers and so on exist, most employers take a tolerant attitude towards their part-time jobs, and more employers begin to work part-time.

If you want to find part-time information, all kinds of channels are also very smooth.

Searching for a part-time website on Google will immediately jump out of thousands of Part-time Posts, part-time clubs, part-time work banks and part-time alliances.

Recruitment websites and portals have also opened up a part-time area, providing two-way communication between employers and part-time individuals.

Both the concept of people and the booming market of part-time jobs provide an increasingly relaxed environment for "part-time family".

Flexibility: restricted

After all, part time jobs are subject to the "time limit" of official duties, which can only be carried out outside of 8 hours of work.

Major contradiction: there are still obstacles.

Part time environment is getting better and better, but there are still some companies in the code of staff clearly stated that "employees can not be part time", so that white-collar heart, but dare not act hastily.

From the point of view of employers, it is mainly concerned that employees are distracted by part time jobs, part-time jobs in the same industry and risk of disclosing business secrets.

SOHO (freelance) - freedom is above everything else.

Core advantage: working at home

SOHO is the abbreviation of English small office home office, referring to those freelancers who work at home.

This way of moving home from work rooms has been questioned. Freelancers are also regarded as "alternative".

Nevertheless, SOHO is still favored by people who are skilled, unwilling to command and have a certain personality.

Nowadays, SOHO practitioners have expanded from earlier freelance writers and news informants to more professional groups such as web programmers, doctors, lawyers and so on.

Market environment: give support

A few years ago, almost all the people who had the ability to work belonged to the unit. No one could dissociate themselves from a social organization for freelance work.

Compared with that time, freelancers now have certain support in both policy environment and social concept.

The problem of survival and development of freelancers has attracted more and more attention from the government, and the corresponding policies and regulations have been promulgated one after another.

At present, Shanghai has made relevant regulations on the pension and medical insurance for freelancers, trying to relieve them of their worries.

Flexibility: I have the final say.

The SOHO family can flexibly control time, arrange workload and work schedule independently, to some extent, it is another form of "being a boss".

Major contradiction: big risk and less protection

The SOHO family has lost the pressure from the boss, but there are also other problems.

For example, there is no fixed income, lack of all kinds of safeguards, and greater pressure to survive; working at home, working environment free, as time passes, it is prone to laziness and efficiency decline; less emotional interaction and mutual inspiration among colleagues, personal creativity will be discounted; for a long time, lack of communication and contact with the outside world will easily lead to various psychological problems.

Generally speaking, self-discipline and strong willpower are suitable for long-term home work.

Hourly workers -- "long work" is inferior to "short-term work".

Core strengths: hour based units

With hours as working units and hours per hour, practitioners can make more flexible arrangements for work and rest time.

According to the change of market demand and personal conditions, we can arrange "off-season" and "peak season" for work.

Because time is flexible, hourly workers usually have multiple roles in a limited time.

A survey by the labor department shows that "casual workers" account for more than 60% of the part-time workers.

Market environment: scale

In the developed countries, part-time employment has become an important form of employment promoted by the government.

The part-time employment market in Shanghai also has a certain scale. The field of employment is expanding. It has changed from simple labor to complex labor, from physical labor to mental labor, from repetitive work to creative work.

At present, Shanghai, Beijing and other cities have issued the minimum wage standard for hourly workers, and the Labor Department of Shanghai has released the wage price of all kinds of hourly workers since last year, and the 88 hourly wages have been "affordable".

Flexibility: verbal agreement

Because hourly workers work more than one hammer, the two parties usually do not sign formal labor contracts, and the two sides cooperate orally and pay remuneration by oral agreement.

If the task is completed or any of the two parties of the employer wishes to change, the cooperation can be terminated. The flexibility of the practitioners is relatively large.

Main contradiction: poor information

Unlike part-time jobs, there is still a lack of professional distribution channels for the hourly employment information. The intermediary market is not perfect enough, and the information communication between the suppliers and the buyers is not smooth.

Most hourly workers are looking for opportunities by introducing acquaintances in circles.

In addition, the relatively loose labor relationship between hourly workers and employers has brought difficulties to workers' rights protection.

"Project worker" - project is work.

Core strengths: around a theme

The term "project worker" may not be appropriate. It refers to the work that is carried out around an independent project rather than a fixed position.

Employers need to hire a group of staff temporarily because of a project. The two sides agreed to complete the remuneration and work style during the project period. The end of the project is the end of the project work.

The core strengths of "project workers" are also more flexible and have more independent space than those employed by a fixed employer.

Usually, these people will establish contacts with one or more talent leasing institutions, become the "leasing talents" of these institutions, get information on project work and get remuneration for their work.
