  Wearing masks and white gloves, I quickly categorize clothes according to type and color. They have professional movements and skillful techniques. It takes less than an hour to make a customer's wardrobe "renewed"... This is the daily work of Li Qinglong, a finishing engineer born in the 90s in Chengdu .

  Recently, the news that Li Qinglong became a finishing division after retiring from the army has made more than 10,000 yuan a month.

In recent years, new professions such as organizer, calorie planner, snail powder smelling teacher, and college entrance examination volunteer consultant have emerged one after another.

The characteristics of freedom of time and high income make many young people prefer new occupations when choosing jobs; but at the same time, the low participation rate of social insurance and insufficient career development stability have become unavoidable troubles for new professional practitioners.

The new profession is "full of tricks"

  After leaving the army in September 2020, Li Qinglong chose to go to Chengdu to join the ranks of finishing engineers.

In his opinion, the job of the organizer is quite similar to that of his own internal affairs in the army, and the army is more demanding, and he has the ability to do this job with experience in the army.

In just 4 months in the business, Li Qinglong has gained more than 200,000 fans on the Internet. Now, with the help of the organizer business and self-media, his monthly income has exceeded 10,000.

  Also being discussed with Li Qinglong was the emerging profession of Organizer.

This new profession originated from Japan, and now it has become a career choice for many young people.

In recent years, with the improvement of residents' living standards and the gradual refinement of consumer demand, consumption trends have developed towards quality, experience and individualization. Some new formats and new occupations have sprung up.

  Since April 2019, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, the State Administration of Market Supervision, and the National Bureau of Statistics have officially released 38 new occupations to the public, including senior abilities assessors, blockchain engineers and technicians, urban management grid personnel, There is a huge shortage of talents in many industries, such as Internet marketers.

The couriers and takeaway brothers who have always been familiar to the public are classified as "online delivery agents", while the delivery anchors such as Wei Ya and Li Jiaqi have another more formal title-"Internet marketer".

  Li Chang’an, a professor at the School of Public Administration of the University of International Business and Economics, told the China News Agency that the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security and other departments have released a series of new occupation catalogs in recent years. The positioning of self-identity is clearer.

  In addition to the new professions officially "stamped" by the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, more new professions are emerging in an endless stream.

In October last year, Meituan Research Institute and Zhilian Recruitment released the "Report on New Formats and New Professional Practitioners in the Life Service Industry in 2020" (hereinafter referred to as the "Report" of the Meituan Research Institute), which pointed out that only the Meituan platform was affected by the new business formats There are more than 70 new professions conceived, including milk tea taster, calorie planner, pet baker, secret room designer, and movie viewing consultant.

  In Li Changan’s view, the new employment form is closely linked to the new economic form. In recent years, with technological development and economic changes, a large number of new occupations and new positions have appeared. “These new occupations are playing an increasingly important role in solving employment. The more important the role."

The new profession "attracts eyes" and "attracts gold"

  In fact, young people's preference for new occupations has a lot to do with factors such as income and time freedom; most new occupations "attract attention" and "attract money".

An An, who currently lives in Guangzhou, chose to become a pet groomer after graduation. Free time is an important reason for her choosing this job.

"Usually, guests will make an appointment for my time at the pet grooming shop, and I will provide grooming services according to the appointment, and the time is relatively free." An An said.

  In addition to freedom of time, high income is also a highlight of the new career.

The "Report" of the Meituan Research Institute pointed out that in terms of income distribution, the income of new professional practitioners has certain market competitiveness.

56.9% of the practitioners have a monthly income of more than 6000 yuan, 36.1% of the practitioners have a monthly income of more than 9,000 yuan, and 21.2% of the practitioners have a monthly income of more than 12,000 yuan.

  Take the college entrance examination volunteer consultant as an example. He Shude, vice president of China College Entrance Examination Planning Industry Alliance and founder of Liren Education, told China News Agency that June and July each year is the peak period of the college entrance examination voluntary reporting business. A mature college entrance examination volunteer consultant Approximately 50 orders can be completed during this period, and the charge for each order ranges from 5,000 to 8,000 yuan.

In other words, more than two months of high-intensity work can yield two or three hundred thousand yuan, which is very cost-effective.

  He Shude, 36, was originally a teacher in a Beijing university and has long been engaged in student employment guidance and other related jobs.

"When I was a teacher in a university, I found that many students chose the inter-professional postgraduate entrance examination because they did not like the major they were studying. The root cause was mostly the wrong major when applying for the college entrance examination. This made me realize the importance of applying for the college entrance examination." This field is still a blue ocean market. He Shude chose to quit his job to start a business and become a full-time college entrance examination volunteer consultant.

  In the face of consultations from parents and students, He Shude will conduct a comprehensive assessment based on personal circumstances, interests, abilities, career development and other factors, and provide a suitable application plan.

"From a comprehensive point of view, we provide students with counseling for the college entrance examination volunteer filing can be divided into three steps. The first step is to choose a major according to the student's gender, subjects, grades, assessment and preference; the second step is to choose a school according to the major, score, and region; Finally, make decisions based on data analysis, structural design, professional development prospects, and the comprehensive strength of universities." He Shude said.

  "At present, the domestic college entrance examination volunteer consulting industry is mostly individual studios and small and micro enterprises. The essence of this business is consulting and mainly depends on people. We are also actively exploring the standardization of marketing, marketing, and services." He Shude said.

Nowadays, He Shude's college entrance examination volunteer consulting business is very impressive, with more than 10 offline stores in Shandong, Hebei and other places.

Normally, he and his colleagues also start online and offline classes, and share relevant knowledge with parents and students on the college entrance examination.

New careers also have "growth troubles"

  Of course, freedom of time and high income are only one aspect of new career practitioners. At the same time, new careers are also facing "growth troubles."

The reporter learned that many practitioners also have some worries about new occupations, such as low social insurance participation rate, insufficient career development stability, and incomplete rights protection mechanisms.

  Standardization is the voice of most new professional practitioners.

Only by establishing corresponding standards can we make up for shortcomings and further protect the rights and interests of practitioners.

To this end, relevant departments and all walks of life are also actively promoting the standardization and rights protection of new occupations.

Recently, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security has for the first time promulgated national vocational skill standards for four new professions, including industrial robot system operators, supply chain managers, e-sports operators, and IoT installation and debuggers.

Not long ago, the Shanghai Postal Administration organized and recommended a high-level technical talent from YTO Express to apply for the senior title of express engineering technology. He has successfully passed the review and entered the public notice. This is also the first senior express engineer in Shanghai.

  Li Changan said that the publication of national vocational skill standards and the reform of professional titles are conducive to the career development of new professional practitioners.

This gives practitioners more room for development and better identity authentication, and it also plays a very good role in regulating and guiding the development of the industry.

  It is worth mentioning that under the catalysis of policies and incomes, practitioners in new professions have a greater sense of identity with their professions. More than 70% of practitioners are optimistic about new professions for a long time and are willing to engage in new professions for a long time.

Industry experts say that the emergence of new occupations creates new opportunities for employment and industry development and reform.

In the future, employees in new occupations should further improve their overall skill level, quickly form the specialization and large-scale effect of talent training in new occupations, and continue to inject "fresh blood" into related industries.
