Basic situation
1, personnel structure of hourly secretary There are four main types of personnel engaged in hourly secretary work: (1) On-the-job personnel in government institutions. Their jobs are usually casual and well-paid. Part-time jobs are more about getting rich returns by giving full play to their own specialties, and more about self-psychological satisfaction. (2) White-collar workers in foreign companies. They mainly want to gain a broader development space and constantly improve themselves by doing part-time jobs. In addition, I will have the opportunity to meet more high-level people and lay the foundation for my future job-hopping. (3) college students. The purpose of this kind of people doing part-time jobs is simple: while earning considerable income, they should get in touch with and know more about society, exercise themselves and make full preparations for finding a job after graduation; (4) Free job seekers. This kind of people can be divided into two types: those who escape the shift system and those who choose the hourly secretary as their profession from the beginning. Their similarities are: they don't like fixed jobs and tend to choose occupations with strong time flexibility and high freedom.
2. Gender composition of hourly secretary
Due to traditional and practical reasons, from the perspective of the number of employees, hourly secretaries are mostly women, accounting for about 80% of the total number of hourly secretaries, but this does not mean that male hourly secretaries are "unpopular". For example, when a new project is launched, the hourly secretary needs to go to the construction site for inspection, and generally the male secretary takes orders; Some industries need an hourly secretary with a background in science and engineering, and customers will take the initiative to find men to do it; However, in some positions that require high physical strength and high concentration of thoughts, such as simultaneous interpretation, the gender advantage of male secretaries is more obvious. It can be said that male and female hourly workers have their own strengths and advantages.
3. Geographical distribution of hourly secretaries
Affected by many factors, such as the degree of economic development, the distribution of hourly workers in China at this stage is roughly as follows: Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and other economically and culturally developed international cities are the gathering centers, and they are booming in developed big cities such as Nanjing, Changsha, Jinan and Wuhan, and gradually spread to some small and medium-sized cities.
4. Business target of hourly secretary
Judging from the current data, the service targets of hourly secretaries are mainly: foreign and overseas enterprises, organizations and individuals engaged in short-term business activities and sightseeing, and organizations and individuals participating in non-business activities and short-term exhibitions.
5. Business scope of hourly secretary
In fact, the business scope of hourly secretary is very wide, from simple typing and tour guide escort to higher-level drafting of documents, arrangement and organization of meetings, exhibition reception, simultaneous interpretation, business consultation and business negotiation. It should be said that the needs of customers are different, and the work content of hourly secretary is constantly changing.
6. Income of hourly secretary
Due to the particularity of the work object and content of the hourly secretary, its remuneration methods are also varied. The remuneration of the hourly secretary is not calculated by the hour, but depends on different industries, tasks and requirements, including hourly fee, session fee and daily fee, as well as one-time fee after completing the task. The hourly secretary covers all kinds of work, so if you calculate by the hour, it ranges from tens to thousands of dollars an hour.
It is understood that the hourly secretary's monthly salary is about 6,000 yuan, among which the most popular is the simultaneous interpretation secretary, which is also one of the highest hourly jobs at present, and the income is generally more than 10,000 yuan.
Cause of rise
The hourly secretary has been accepted by more and more organizations and individuals, and is gradually becoming a career with good expected prospects. The reasons for its rapid rise are as follows:
1, driven by market demand
With China's accession to the WTO and the deepening of foreign exchanges, more and more foreign companies and non-governmental organizations will conduct business activities in major cities in China. Most of these institutions and people don't have their own full-time secretaries, so the local hourly secretary has become their wise first choice.
A statistical data shows that taking Shanghai's exhibitions as an example, from June 5438+0 to June 5438+00 this year, an average of 5.5 exhibitions were held every week, and more than 2 exhibitions were held every day during the National Day Golden Week. In addition, business activities of domestic and foreign enterprises are frequent, and overseas and off-site sightseeing tours are increasing. It is this huge market demand that has promoted the rapid development of the hourly secretary industry.
2. Comparative advantages of hourly secretaries
Compared with the fixed secretary of the customer, the hourly secretary has irreplaceable advantages:
First of all, it costs less to hire a local hourly secretary than to bring our professional secretary, especially for foreign businessmen who come for short-term business activities. Hiring an hourly secretary can save the company a lot of money.
Secondly, the hourly secretary is obviously more familiar with the local situation and has better interpersonal relationship than the ordinary secretary of the customer, and can provide more comprehensive auxiliary services for his customers.
Furthermore, according to different business activities, customers can hire professional secretaries with relevant professional knowledge; Moreover, due to the temporary employment relationship between the two parties, the working efficiency of hourly secretaries is often higher than that of regular secretaries, and they can give full play to their roles and serve themselves.
3. Maturity of the secretary team of hourly workers
With the change of employment concept and the improvement of personnel quality, many cities in China, such as Shanghai, Beijing and Guangzhou, already have a group of compound secretaries who are proficient in foreign languages and various knowledge. They also hope to give full play to their talents by working as hourly secretaries, and get paid and opportunities for further development. This is another important condition that cannot be ignored for the rise of the hourly secretary. Examination collection and arrangement
quality requirements
Although the hourly secretary is a "temporary worker", due to her special status as an "assistant" of the leader, the requirements for becoming an excellent hourly secretary are still harsh.
1, good image and good temperament
Although the hourly secretary is not a "vase", when the employer hires you, you represent the image of the company in this period, especially the short working hours, which determines that you have to confiscate your personal charm in a short time, so a compound secretary with good image and good temperament is more likely to be favored by the employer.
2. Quick thinking and accurate explanation
In addition to having a good external temperament, a flexible mind and excellent language translation skills are also valued by employers, which will make your worth soar.
3. Rich practical experience
Many employers will choose hourly secretaries with more practical experience, which is mainly determined by the short-term and efficient service that employers need. Newcomers in the workplace are obviously not favored in this respect, and experienced hourly workers will undoubtedly make employers look at each other differently.
4, comprehensive overall quality
The secretary of the hourly worker should have strong public relations and organizational skills, be proficient in foreign languages, master a lot of high-tech knowledge such as computers, economic management and communications, be proficient in modern office supplies, and have a driver's license. In short, the more the better.
development trends
Part-time secretary was born in response to the market, and it has become a popular occupation abroad and in many big cities. It is reported that there are nearly 10,000 hourly secretaries in China and Shanghai; The market is becoming more and more optimistic. In addition, according to the feedback from many customers who have hired hourly secretaries, they also gave great affirmation to the advantages and benefits of hourly secretaries. It should be said that the market for hourly secretaries is very large, and the market also needs hourly secretaries.
However, because this industry is still in the early stage of development, many aspects are still not perfect. Last year, the media disclosed that the Secretary-General's Office of Wenzhou "Classic" hourly worker "hung sheep's head and sold dog meat", which reflected many problems in this industry from one side. Therefore, the relevant state departments should issue some corresponding industry norms as soon as possible to speed up the establishment of industry associations. We believe that through effective supervision and scientific management, the "emerging" industry of hourly workers will develop more rapidly and healthily, and make positive contributions to China's economic construction and social progress.
