Part-time jobs for college students have always been a hot topic in campus life. I am now a junior in college, and I have tried various part-time jobs during the past three years in school. I think there are three main types of part-time jobs we can try now: off-campus part-time jobs, on-campus part-time jobs, and online part-time jobs. I would like to tell you about the advantages and disadvantages, participation channels, salary levels, etc. of these part-time jobs based on my personal experience.

1. Part-time jobs outside school

1. Tutoring. Tutoring is probably the most common part-time job among college students, especially those majoring in foreign languages. I am majoring in English (teaching school), and many students in our class have the experience of working as part-time tutors. Nowadays, parents are very focused on their children's studies, and English is a relatively difficult subject. At the same time, the price of hiring tutors from college students is relatively low, so the market for college tutors is very broad. Of course, not only English, but also physics, chemistry, composition, and even music and art are in great demand in the tutoring market, and tutors in arts such as music and art have higher salaries.

The main advantages of tutoring are: the market is large and there are many opportunities; the time is scattered and can be arranged through consultation with the parents of the students, and it will not affect the schoolwork; the teaching is mutual, and the basic knowledge can be consolidated, and the normal students can accumulate teaching experience; the age and The students being taught are close to each other, the generation gap is small, and communication is easy. Disadvantages: Need to proactively adapt to students' personalities; tutoring is generally located at students' homes, which is quite restrictive; the journey between school and students' homes may take a long time. The salary of a tutor is generally calculated on an hourly basis, and different cities, regions, and subjects will affect the salary level. The average tutoring market price in Fuzhou City, Fujian Province is 60/hour, and the average market price in Anxi County, Quanzhou City, Fujian Province is 50/hour. You can refer to it. The participation channel for tutors is generally the local tutor group, which can be searched on QQ and WeChat. But everyone should keep their eyes open and distinguish carefully, look for the legitimate platform, and avoid being deceived!

2. Institutional teaching assistant. Before the double reduction policy, the competitiveness of various tutoring institutions was still quite high, and sometimes you would be rejected when you applied for interviews. Our college also organizes students to go to institutions to participate in social practice. Although tutoring institutions are not easy to operate now, some old tutoring institutions have not been greatly affected, such as New Oriental, Jiuselu, etc., so we can still try this type of part-time job.

The advantages of institutional teaching assistants are: clear salary and better environment; early exposure to systematic teaching courses and teaching methods is of great help to students who want to engage in teaching career in the future. Some institutions also have There are administrative positions. If you don’t want to work in the education industry, you can also engage in administrative work; you can sign a contract with an institution, and this part-time job will be more stable and long-term. If you want to continue working in the institution after graduation, they will give priority to admission. Disadvantages: It may take up a lot of time and have a certain impact on learning; the institution has performance requirements, so part-time jobs are much more stressful than tutoring; some part-time positions are just for odd jobs, and there is no way to really learn anything. Salaries for part-time jobs are generally calculated based on the length of time. Take my own part-time job at New Oriental as an example. The regional teaching assistant’s hourly salary is RMB 12, but the working hours are long; the basic salary of the in-class teaching assistant is RMB 12 (class size × 0.25), and the working hours are arranged according to the student’s class schedule. The channels for participation are generally to go to your favorite institution to submit your resume for an interview, or to participate in a cooperation project between the school and the institution (if any).

3. Part-time jobs in the service industry, including milk tea shops, restaurants, clothing stores, flower shops, etc. The university campus has a large population and the surrounding service industry market is prosperous, so the demand for labor is also relatively large. Many shops will recruit college students to work part-time.

The advantages of part-time jobs in the service industry are: low entry barriers and no professional level requirements; the work content is simple, simple and easy to get started; generally there are no performance requirements, low work intensity and low pressure; you can interact with more diverse people Get in touch with people and master certain social skills; drink endless milk tea and eat endless delicious food. Disadvantages: This type of work is basically irrelevant to the major you are studying, which means it is not helpful for our studies, nor does it have much significance for future employment; the service industry is characterized by hardship and fatigue. For example, in a milk tea shop, you may shake the milk tea until your hands get sore. , the catering industry also has endless dishes and chopsticks to wash.

The hourly wage of this type of wage is quite different from the part-time pricing for college students in the market, generally ranging from 12 to 25 yuan per hour. The recruitment channel requires us to go to the stores around the school to inquire, or find a store with a recruitment notice posted on the storefront for an interview.

2. Part-time jobs on campus

1. Worker positions. In order to help students from poor families and meet the school's employment needs, universities will set up work-study positions, usually helping in the library or serving as assistants to teachers and administrative staff. Our school has opened many positions at the school and college levels, including management, assistants, epidemic liaison officers, and freshman study assistants. These positions will be recruited at the beginning of each semester. If you pass the interview, there will be a one-month trial period. However, as long as no serious mistakes are made, you can generally work normally. The working period is one semester. If you want to stay in the new semester, If you want a position, you need to submit a written application to the teacher. I have done it for one semester myself, so I know more about it.

His main advantages are: it takes place on campus, saving transportation costs; classes are scheduled according to our schedule, and they are all scheduled during the day, so you don’t have to worry about conflicts with your own courses or other activities; you can get to know each other. More teachers know more inside information before others; they are more proficient in using office software. Disadvantages: low salary; some teachers have bad tempers and are difficult to get along with, but in fact, most teachers are easy to get along with. My teacher even gave me a New Year gift. The salary conditions are 400/500 yuan a month. If you work overtime, the salary can be as high as 20 per hour. The overtime hours are determined by the teacher, and they will not be stingy! Students who want to find a job should pay attention to the news from the Work Department at the beginning of the semester, and just find the position you want to try and go for an interview! I personally feel this is a very good choice.

2. Deliver food. There are many students on our university campus, and three meals a day are necessary, so the demand for food delivery is also very high. Many canteen businesses will recruit students to help deliver food to reduce their own burden. Now that some off-campus businesses are unable to enter the school due to the epidemic, they will also recruit our on-campus students to help deliver food. Because I am a girl who is afraid of being exposed to the sun, I have never tried delivering food, but I specifically asked my classmates to find out more about it.

The advantages of delivering food are: you mainly work during meals and do not take up study time; many businesses will include meals on the basis of salary; you can borrow the boss's electric car when needed. Disadvantages: It is quite hard to be exposed to wind, sun and rain; if you go to work at noon, you cannot take a nap, which takes up your rest time; you cannot learn anything useful; driving in rainy days is more dangerous. The salary conditions are 12 to 15 yuan per hour. Some businessmen are better and provide free meals to those who work during meal breaks. It should be noted that some businesses do not provide electric vehicles, so we need to include the cost of charging our own electric vehicles. The way to participate is generally to pay attention to the information posted in the store when you go to the cafeteria to eat, and apply for the job yourself.

3. Innovation and entrepreneurship. If you want to make money, you don’t have to work for others. We can also choose to start our own business. Of course, the entrepreneurship I am talking about refers to small businesses that are low-cost and target students on campus, such as doing manicures in dormitories, printing, booking auctions, selling small jewelry or hometown specialties, etc. It is worth mentioning that university campuses have policies to support student innovation and entrepreneurship. A senior in our school applied for an entrepreneurial project and opened a print shop downstairs of his dormitory, with free space rent, water and electricity. This undoubtedly greatly reduces financial pressure for entrepreneurs.

The advantages of innovation and entrepreneurship are: school policy support; a large customer base; the price is lower than commercial stores, very popular with students, business will be very good; you can make a lot of money, and it is all your own ; Being able to exercise their abilities in all aspects, accumulate experience, and even possibly make this a lifelong career. The disadvantages are: you need to invest your own capital in the early stages of starting a business; the overall operation is entirely dependent on yourself, which is stressful, but Buddhist friends do not need to consider this. The salary level varies according to each entrepreneurial project. As far as I know, the printing shop is 0.2 yuan for one side and 0.3 yuan for double side; the one selling honey pomelo is 9 yuan; there are also cheap flower shops and jewelry stalls. The following are the salary standards for some entrepreneurial projects run by my classmates. Correspondingly, this type of work does not involve participating channels, we ourselves are the channels.

3. Online part-time jobs

1. Online photography. Online photography is to help Taobao and other online merchants take product promotion photos. They will send the clothes over, and we will send them back after taking the photos. Some generous merchants will directly give the clothes to us. We have a two-way choice with the merchants. We choose which type of products we want to photograph and then go to the merchants of that category, and the merchants choose whether to use us as models based on our model cards. That is to say, we first need to take a good-looking mockup card, which is a few photos of ourselves, mainly highlighting the products we want to photograph, such as clothes and jewelry, and then mark our height, weight and other basic information. At the same time, this also requires us to have superior conditions, be good at taking photos, retouching photos, or have better equipment.

The main advantages of online photography are: free time; very friendly to people who like to take pictures; practice the skills of taking pictures and editing pictures; can appear on Taobao; have endless new clothes; can keep taking them Express delivery and enjoy the happiness of unpacking express delivery. The disadvantages are: some businesses are strict, have a bad temper, are difficult to get along with, and even ask us to reshoot. However, the salary conditions for online photography are relatively good. Generally, the price of a set of photos is 80-150. For those who shoot videos, a video can cost more than 500. As for the participation channels, they are usually introduced by acquaintances. We can ask the girls on the etiquette team of the school. They have more channels. I accidentally saw the promotion in a classmate's circle of friends, so I joined with the mentality of giving it a try. I think you can ask Taobao’s customer service, but the chances are slim. We should pay attention to these online platforms and beware of scams. Some unscrupulous platforms will ask us to pay rent and then not help us introduce jobs. We should keep our eyes open and identify them carefully.

2. Translation. Many online translation platforms recruit human translators, mainly to help translate some sentences and articles that are incorrectly translated by intelligent machines or that users submit that require human translation.

The advantages of translation are: there are no time and location restrictions, and you can work with a mobile phone/computer; you can improve your English translation level; some formal platforms can provide internship certificates. The disadvantages are: the work content is simple and boring; it is highly professional and the threshold is high. The salary level of online translators varies according to each platform and individual translation level, and the span is large. Some are ten yuan an hour, and some are ten yuan a word. The channels through which you can participate in online translation include the following websites: Rev, UnBabelUnBabel, TranslatorsCaff, Youdao Human Translation, Changyi, Woyi.com, etc.

3. Alibaba Cloud Customer Service. As we all know, Alibaba is a large formal platform. Their daily business volume is huge, so they naturally need more people to coordinate after-sales work, so they recruit cloud customer service personnel from time to time.

The advantages of cloud customer service are: you can choose your own working hours, which will not affect your studies; you can work using a computer without leaving home; there will be pre-job training, so don’t be afraid of not knowing how to deal with problems. The disadvantages are: you need to take a few assessments before you can officially take up the job; you will encounter some unreasonable and difficult customers, so you need enough patience; the recruitment quota is limited, so you have to work hard to grab it! The salary level varies according to your grade level, customer volume and department position. I remember that my salary for a 6-hour shift could reach 200, and one of my sisters earned 280. Of course, the salary will be relatively low when you first join the job, and the salary will increase month by month as you upgrade. Upgrades are mainly linked to service rate, resolution rate, and attendance rate. The registration channel is to follow the official Weibo of Alibaba Cloud Customer Service. Pay more attention to the recruitment information and try your luck and hand speed. Remember to participate in the supplementary recruitment! Many people didn’t participate because they thought they couldn’t get the supplementary recruitment, but I just got in through the supplementary recruitment~

Options for online part-time jobs Highly professional, you can earn a lot of money by dubbing, writing manuscripts, painting avatars, sketching, etc. But these often require everyone to have a certain skill, such as a good voice, good writing, knowing how to draw, etc. You can learn more about it based on your own interests and expertise.

The above are the part-time jobs that I think college students can participate in! Many of them have been personally experienced by me. You can make choices based on your actual situation. If you want to know more, please leave a message~

Mind Map

In addition, everyone When choosing a part-time job, be sure to keep your eyes peeled and beware of being deceived. There is no such thing as a free lunch. My good friend was defrauded of thousands of dollars just because he was trying to get a part-time job with less money and more money. The following are some anti-fraud tips that I think everyone should keep in mind before starting a part-time job:

1. Regular part-time jobs generally do not require you to pay the so-called entry fees, training fees, and physical examination fees first. If there are such requirements , everyone must pay attention! Most likely a liar! There is also a deposit. Some employers will ask for a deposit, or ID card or student ID card as collateral. They promise that you can go to work after paying the deposit. After paying the deposit, they ask us to wait for news on various excuses and refuse. Deposits are returned, and some companies find various reasons to deliberately withhold wages when wages are about to be paid, and even threaten to withhold ID cards and student ID cards to refuse to pay wages. We absolutely cannot accept this situation!

2. Before starting a part-time job, it is best to sign a contract or cooperation agreement with institutions and businesses. First, it will prevent them from defaulting on paying their wages later, and second, having a contract can better protect your legitimate rights and interests. Although we are not formal workers, we still need to sign a labor agreement. The content of the agreement should include the rights and obligations of both parties, which vary depending on the type of work, time, and position. The labor intensity, working hours, labor security, labor insurance, Special attention must be paid to matters such as wages and benefits, calculation of overtime expenses, and contract validity period. At the same time, when signing an agreement, you must also pay attention to relevant clauses and pay attention to whether there are any text traps, and refuse to accept situations that do not comply with legal provisions. You can ask your classmates in the law department for help.

3. When looking for a tutor, you should look for it on a regular large platform. It is best to find a male friend to accompany you when you go to trial tutoring for the first time. Tell your parents in advance, they will all understand and agree.

4. There are some apps that can give you money just by trying out, registering, or unblocking WeChat, so don’t try it easily! It is easy to leak personal privacy. Unblocking WeChat may even affect your own WeChat account. In serious cases, your bank card may be frozen.

5. You can see a lot of recruitment of typists on the Internet, don’t believe it! After all, now that mobile phones and computers can convert speech to text, take photos, recognize and extract text, who needs to type by hand?

6. Everyone should beware of illegal intermediaries. Whether in the process of looking for a job or renting an apartment, we will more or less deal with intermediaries. Many illegal intermediaries have taken advantage of our students’ lack of social experience and eagerness to make money. After charging high amounts, After paying the agency fee, they did not fulfill the contract and were unable to find suitable jobs for us in time; or they found another recruitment company to do the job; what's worse, they just changed places and couldn't even find the person after paying the money.

7. We must negotiate the salary level with the merchant before signing the contract and officially taking up the job! In most cases, some employers will sign a symbolic contract with us, while others will not sign one at all. But first we need to discuss it clearly with them, and try to choose the kind that can "run away like a monk but not a temple". Tutoring institutions, restaurants, factories, schools, etc. are all good choices. After communicating about the salary, it is best to put it on paper so that you can have evidence even when it comes time to defend your rights.

I hope the above content can provide you with some help. Finally, I wish everyone can find the part-time job they like and are interested in, and I hope everyone can gain something from their part-time job. Let’s become rich together as soon as possible~

Go ahead!
