Personally, many office workers are not interested in lifelong employment, and employment mobility has become more and more serious in recent years; For example, IT industry, finance industry and construction industry are all industries with frequent job-hopping. Many office workers are still anxious about their current jobs; Especially when AI (artificial intelligence) is developing rapidly, every professional will worry that he will be the next object to be replaced. This is also the main reason why many people try to get a second job outside their own jobs in recent years, hoping to avoid the potential risks brought by the fluctuation of salary in the future.
There are about three kinds of strong will to choose a second career:
First, I have a legitimate career, so I want to earn more in the face of too much uncertainty in my career today.
Second, the salary level of some industries has declined, and the survival of manufacturing and traditional industries in many physical industries has become more severe.
Third, some enterprises have short regular working hours, no pressure, and have leisure time to engage in a second occupation.
The reasons for the rise of the second profession are as follows from the social environment:
The popularity of smart phones and the development of mobile Internet.
Second, the fiery consumption of content and the rise of webcasting platforms have greatly reduced the Internet dividend and participation threshold, allowing many people to participate, and many people have gained considerable profits and even financial freedom.
Third, the rise of cash platforms, such as Taobao, National Minimally Invasive, in place and other platforms, can obtain any career information through mobile phones, greatly reducing the cost of engaging in a second career. At the same time, relying on the platform to start a business in Wechat business based on its own specialties is also advocated by the platform. Many people finally succeeded in turning their sideline business into their main business, not only realizing their career changes, but also finding a better work and lifestyle.
The rise of artificial intelligence has made many people aware of the career crisis and began to try other career opportunities outside their own work.
5. Ideological changes. Nowadays, many people realize the importance of family, life and study outside work, and begin to yearn for flexible employment methods, so that they can have more time to themselves outside work. The number of freelancers is increasing year by year, and many people have changed from second jobs to freelancers.
At present, China encourages "mass entrepreneurship" at the national strategic level. A large number of investment funds have entered, and a large number of startup companies from all walks of life have emerged. Through the encouragement of capital and good operation, people are familiar with the platform model, paving the way for people to try different lifestyles and fully mobilizing their enthusiasm.
With the continuous improvement and development of mobile Internet and platforms, there will be fewer and fewer single-career practitioners and more and more multi-career practitioners in the future. A person can be a teacher, a travel consultant, a bus driver, and may have his own painting studio, creative studio and so on.
How to choose a second career that suits you? I want to consider it from three aspects.
First of all, you can't affect the essential work, after all, you have to make a living by it.
At this time, you can choose, for example, Didi Driver, short rent Landlord or Game Agent as your second job.
The second is to try to choose a job that interests you.
For various reasons, our job may not be what we want, and many platforms provide a platform to make money from skill value. At this time, you might as well choose something you are interested in. Not only can you try what you have always wanted to do, but you can also make money. Many people have been out of control since then, and soon found their own position and found a career path that is more suitable for them. For example, according to the news, a university teacher, whose hobby is playing chess, finally became a professional chess player. An office worker started to help others design and make animation videos, and finally set up his own animation design team. A website editor began to participate in self-media creation, and finally not only had his own creative team, but also realized the previously impossible financial freedom. There are not many such examples. The way of development now is not just to work hard and then get promoted and raised, but to have more and more free choices, and everyone has more possibilities.
The third is to have a sense of brand and service.
The second career you choose, the first is the idea of building brand awareness. After all, the job is different. The second job you choose has limited binding force on the platform, and you are more like working for yourself. How to improve the service quality and check the service quality will become extremely important. It is also related to whether you can take this as one of the important considerations in your future entrepreneurial approach, so it will become more important to establish personal brand value and service awareness.
In the future, multi-professional working methods will become the mainstream. Have you thought about your second job?
