Time flies, 20 16 is running out. Sometimes, only the thin calendar on the wall records the quiet departure of this year. Although the days go round and round, sometimes it is really boring, but human beings can turn ordinary into magic and add different fun to life with various festivals. Christmas is just around the corner, and many shops have placed Christmas trees, and the festive atmosphere is getting stronger and stronger. But as China people, I think everyone is looking forward to another festival-Spring Festival. First, the Spring Festival is early, and there is a labor shortage in the service industry in less than a month. Students will usher in the long-awaited winter vacation, and office workers are getting closer and closer to the Spring Festival holiday. Before long, the air will gradually exude the flavor of the year. However, slightly different from previous years, this year's Spring Festival will be earlier, and 65438+1October 27 will be the New Year's Eve. This means that Spring Festival travel rush will start earlier than in previous years. It is understood that this year's Spring Festival travel rush rush train ticket was officially put on sale on 65438+February 15. There will be thousands of migrant workers on their way home. These cities in the north, Guangzhou and Shenzhen will become "an empty city". However, all walks of life should continue to operate to meet the needs of people's normal life. With the advance of the Spring Festival, most migrant workers will return home early. Therefore, there will be labor shortage in many industries at the end of the year. Especially the service industry, such as major hotels and restaurants. The end of the year is not the off-season of their business, but the golden period of their performance. Various annual meetings, tail teeth, New Year's Eve dinners and other appointments emerge one after another, which brings many challenges to employment. According to the survey, in restaurants and hotels, the most lacking are cashiers, food delivery staff, foreman, chefs and other service personnel, and their demand is more than twice as much as usual. However, according to the manager of a hotel, "People have started to leave their jobs one after another. This situation will be more serious after a while. " Shang Xiaobian also learned from the Internet that most of the well-known classified information websites such as 58 City and Fair are occupied by waiters, and employers have added labels such as "urgent move", "high salary", "generous bonus" and "food and shelter" in an attempt to make up for the upcoming vacancy as soon as possible. Second, the Spring Festival is a special period for colleges and universities to create a "fragrant cake" in the service industry, and the labor shortage in the service industry in this period is also a special case, because after the Spring Festival, this problem does not exist, so the special circumstances that appear in this special period should be treated specially. The survey shows that in recent years, college students have become more and more popular in the winter vacation catering industry. In fact, college students are no strangers to the waiter industry, because some of them have worked part-time in fast food restaurants such as KFC, McDonald's and Pizza Hut. Maybe they are Max, the poison tongue of "bankrupt sisters", or Caroline, who is proud, but they have all become "angels" in the eyes of major restaurants and hotels during this period. After in-depth investigation and unannounced visits in Bian Xiao, I understand why college students will become a hot item in the catering industry during the winter vacation. First of all, students' winter vacation coincides with the Spring Festival holiday, and students who start to take winter vacation can just make up for the employment gap in the service industry caused by migrant workers going home for the New Year. Moreover, after the Spring Festival holiday, they need to go back to school, which can just leave a vacancy for migrant workers who return to the city at that time, so there will be no conflict in time. Furthermore, because they are temporary workers, even if their wages are a little high, employers do not need to pay various social insurances for them, so the overall cost is still very low. In addition, college students may lack social experience, but they are young and eager to learn, with strong ability to accept new things, quick response and easy to use. These major points have become the main reasons for the catering industry to recruit a large number of college students as temporary workers during the winter vacation. According to the personnel manager of a hotel in Beijing, "it is an open secret in the industry to recruit student workers for temporary posts during the winter vacation and the Spring Festival." Finally, I want to say one more thing here. Although it is easy for college students to find part-time jobs during the winter vacation, students who are interested in part-time jobs should be cautious. After all, safety comes first.
