During the Spring Festival, the demand for pet boarding and door-to-door feeding is particularly strong, and pet consumption items such as buying new clothes, preparing large meals, and beauty baths also ushered in a peak.
According to Chongqing** news, on the morning of February 12, as soon as Miao Miao, a 28-year-old pet sitter, opened the door of the customer's house, three cats surrounded him, and the cat bowl was empty, and the ground was full of cat litter. She rolled up her sleeves, changed food, added water, shoveled, cleaned the room, and patted **...In less than half an hour, she completed this "home feeding" business. During this Spring Festival holiday, Miao Miao, who lives in a university town, receives full orders every day, and is expected to earn about 10,000 yuan in 8 days.
During the Spring Festival, in the soaring festive atmosphere, how to spend the festival more securely and comfortably has become the top priority for many families. The new profession that came into being as a result has once again ushered in a wave of enthusiasm. These new careers have been combined with personal interests as never before, and have become the career choices of successive groups of young people.
The "new profession" of serving customers for a good holiday is on fire, which reflects the change in people's lifestyles with the development and change of society, creating new professional needs. Young people's attitudes towards these new occupations and whether they have the corresponding vocational skills not only affect their own employment choices and career development, but also affect the healthy and standardized development of new occupations.
Treating new occupations with a diversified employment attitude and professionalism will broaden the employment space of young people and enhance the professional level of new occupations.
In recent years, new occupations have been emerging in our country. Many of these new professions give young people the feeling that the entry threshold is low, and anyone can do it. This is actually a misunderstanding of new occupations, many new occupations belong to the service industry, to do well, not only need practitioners to have a positive attitude, can not be biased, but also need practitioners to have the corresponding vocational skills and literacy.
Taking pet sitter as an example, it seems very simple to be a "shovel officer", but it is not easy to satisfy customers and be professional. This is the same as other domestic service professions.
In recent years, as China has entered an aging society, there is a strong demand for housekeeping services. In order to cultivate domestic service talents, some local undergraduate colleges and vocational colleges have opened domestic service majors, but students are not enthusiastic about applying for the examination, and some students question whether professional learning is required to engage in domestic service?
In order to promote the development of new occupations and broaden the employment choices of young people with new occupations, most new occupations do not set the necessary vocational qualification access requirements, but are hired by employers and customers according to their own needs, and job seekers choose independently according to their own abilities and interests. In other words, the development of new careers mainly depends on the market, which requires both supply and demand sides to have a sense of standardization.
On the whole, the continuous emergence of new occupations has a positive role in promoting the elimination of occupational prejudice and discrimination in our society. For example, pet sitter is the "new profession" in housekeeping services, and the society's attitude towards college students using vacation time to be pet sitters is more tolerant than engaging in traditional housekeeping services.
This also puts forward new requirements for traditional occupations, which should adapt to the changes of the times, inject new connotations into the profession, and increase the attractiveness of practitioners. Only in this way can we realize the two-way rush of career development changes and changes in young people's employment outlook.
