In the middle of winter, Yan Jinchao, a 24-year-old young man, set off from a small village deep in the Taihang Mountains and rushed to the provincial capital with his bags, hoping to use his cooking skills to find a satisfactory job in the provincial capital.
Yan Jinchao, a villager from Chesi Village, Gaoluo Town, Xiyang County, Jinzhong City, Shanxi Province, graduated from a local vocational and technical college with a master's degree in chef and specializes in making noodles.
Some employers are unable to provide staff dormitories, some cannot guarantee weekly rest days, and some suspect that Yan Jinchao has no work experience ......In the first month after leaving his hometown and moving to the city, Yan Jinchao applied for many hotels, but none of them satisfied him.
Pass the pass, pass the pass. Yan Jinchao accidentally encountered the gig market, a larger platform and more resources, which made his job search more effective with half the effort.
The gig market is an important task in Shanxi Province in the past year to stabilize employment and protect people's livelihood, through the integration of various labor markets, talent markets, online job search and other platforms, to open up employment opportunities, increase employment services, rights and interests protection, and promote the employment and income of flexible workers.
With the help of the gig market, Yan Jinchao found a job performing noodle art in a folk restaurant. Yan Jinchao's performances are loved by diners, earning nearly 10,000 yuan a month.
