Slash Young people love to try different types of work to experience life

Brody, 29, started taking a pet grooming course 8 years ago and has been engaged in on-site pet grooming services ever since. She bluntly said that she was "personal at all times" and did not like her stable job. Cargo drivers, restaurant waiters, photographers, triathlon staff, tea restaurant takeaways, and other types of work. Until 3 years ago, I saw (deliveroo) household delivery to invite takeaway food delivery staff, so I registered to join the ranks of "infantry" through mobile phone. I deliver meals on foot from time to time. Sometimes I take an hour to work during lunch time at the Causeway Bay pet shop. I have also tried to open the mobile platform to take orders 15 minutes before the appointment. Rework on the sidelines, return 10 days a month, not to make a lot of money, when it is to subsidize daily necessities or eat a lot of meals, there are good stores to see you hard, I will ask you to drink, it’s actually good Humane."

Xiaoyang pointed out that many young people have become accustomed to becoming "slashes" and will not stick to a certain industry for a lifetime. They will try different jobs to enrich their life experience. Take her as an example, she can flexibly allocate working hours at different stages of life. At present, I work two days a week in a pet shop, and also take on-site pet grooming orders. In my spare time, I deliver food and even set up my own online store or sell my own jewelry in the weekend market. It seems to be very busy, but you can actually use it Time to do what you love can also free up more personal space. "Life is not about money, work is for your own interests, and it is not about working hard, and you have to go back to more private time and make appointments. Business people or friends, this is the life I want to live first.” She believes that as long as the status quo is maintained and there is no plan to change the work situation, she will continue to work as a part-time food delivery person to help supplement the income.

The take-out platform changes the outside world's view of the food delivery staff

She also pointed out that the outside world has been very discriminatory against "takeaways" in the past, thinking that only those who are not in a proper profession will be humbled to become takeaways.

The ratio of males to females was only 9:1 three years ago, to 7:3 in the later stage of the epidemic. "I told my friends about delivery of food, and there will be no negative comments."

The survey found that 93% value free online work

The survey also found that as more and more people pursue relatively free working hours, 93% of the respondents cited the free login system of Huhusong as the primary reason for cooperating with Huhusong.

Free login system allows food delivery specialists to go online to take orders anytime, anywhere, without having to make an appointment in advance, and can arrange working hours by themselves.

In addition to work flexibility, the reasons why the food delivery specialists interviewed are satisfied with the household delivery application include higher income, transparency, support from the food delivery specialists, and insurance benefits.

Currently, a number of career-oriented programs are launched for food delivery specialists, including free online courses for more than 700 OpenClassrooms, food delivery staff and The family members can obtain training and development opportunities through the program, hoping to provide the food delivery staff with flexibility in pursuing their work, and at the same time establish a working environment that can make them proud and enjoyable.
