People, computer elites, planners, etc. Of course, with the development of society, the relaxation of the system and the advancement of technology,
Freelancers are also expanding into other areas. Scholars point out that doctors, lawyers, etc. will become the largest group of freelancers.
In contrast to freelance occupations, in addition to traditional employment occupations, there are also contracted occupations. In the 1990s, the signing profession was
For the third category of freelancers, money is not the most important thing. Their independence, their freedom to do things their own way, and being regarded as experts in their field are all more important than pure money.
Most freelancers are hands-on people who don't want to hire helpers because they don't believe others will do as well as they do. Most freelancers don't like partnering with others because they don't believe that others will do things the way they like.
The tragedy of a freelancer is that the more successful his career, the longer he works and the less time he spends with his family.
As a social phenomenon, the emergence of freelance has its rationality.
First, as a rationality of structural differentiation, it is a concrete manifestation of diversification of occupation types. Our society is undergoing a transformation from a traditional society to a modern society. A fundamental feature of traditional society is its structural closeness, homogeneity, and unity, which lacks mobility and vitality. Modern society, as a more complex social system, is bound to be open, heterogeneous, and diverse in structure. In concrete manifestations, with the needs of social development, the types of industries will continue to increase. Closely related to this is that the types of occupations will become more and more detailed.
Second, as a rationality of value choice, freelance is the result of diversified value choices. The diversification of values is an inevitable result of an open society and a complex society. It will lead to a variety of behaviors and lifestyles of people, and then cause diversification and individualization of employment methods. The emergence of freelancers has, in a flexible manner, made up for the vacancies of traditional professional structures in a timely manner and fulfilled the specific functions required by social operations.

Many people yearn to be a freelancer who does not look at others, but not everyone can be an excellent freelancer. Wang Da, a well-known expert in human resource management and youth career guidance, said in an interview with reporters, " "Knowing yourself" should be the first problem for anyone who wants to be a freelancer.
Freedom is just a mentality of freelancing. This does not conflict with the meticulous work thinking and serious working methods in actual work. Because freelancing is also an entrepreneurship, freelancers also need to have strict professional habits and reasonable career plan. If you do not plan your career well, not only will your business not be big, but even when you return to the workplace one day, it will be difficult to have better qualifications.
Well-known psychological counselor Han Sanqi said that in fact, compared with ordinary workers, freelancers should know more about career planning. Knowing your career plan is the most important way for freelancers to deal with uncertain factors. Freelancers also have relatively stable career directions, such as freelance writers, freelance teachers, freelance certified accountants, and so on. Therefore, they must pay attention to the entire professional news at any time and grasp their own career direction.
When planning your career, you should not be too high, because your future is more uncertain than office workers, so the planning must be based on your age, personality characteristics, network resources, family conditions, social security factors, major event intervention methods, etc., especially It is necessary to refine career planning, and long-term planning can be imaginary, leaving flexibility. Some people make long-term planning very "actual", but they fall into their own traps, because they are too far away from themselves, with more variables, and the virtual ones can be adjusted flexibly. This is the key to career planning. The reason why many plans lose their guiding role is that there is no combination of reality and reality.
Long-term self-centered habits are easily marginalized by mainstream life
Senior Career Senior Career Advisors of the Future said that "hopping" is a very common thing for freelancers, or that it is not a real job hopping. Because of its own professional quality, it will provide products and services to various "customers" in need. In a sense, freelancers often fire their bosses or customers. Freelancers are gradually shifting from being a professional in conservative notions to an enviable unbound. However, they also have some new problems, mostly psychological problems, such as suffering from freedom syndrome, the so-called "free disease".
Being a freelancer, no one but yourself will come to point you at your job. Working for a few hours a day, how much performance is achieved, depends entirely on self-control. But everyone knows that freedom comes at a great price, and it is bound to face psychological pressure caused by uncertain factors. The influence of life pressure is undoubtedly the largest, and it is also the most realistic and unavoidable. For example, what if you get a serious illness? What do you do when you get older? This is a very realistic pressure. These realistic pressures often make freelancers more forgetful about their work, and even take advantage of young crazy work, in order to accumulate capital to lay the foundation for their future life. Freelancers do not have labor insurance. They have to buy old-age insurance and medical insurance. The stress of living becomes a burden to a certain extent. Freelancers were naturally full of confidence when choosing this path. They believed that with their talents, they would not worry about their lack of success, but when they were free, they lost their sense of stability and dependence.
Han Sanqi pointed out that due to the long-term self-centered lifestyle, it is easy to be marginalized by mainstream life. Proper restraint can mobilize people's enthusiasm. After all, too loose self-management does not understand public life, and public life is everyone s survival. The most solid foundation of the. For freelancers, the ability to manage yourself and arrange yourself is very important. From this perspective, it is more necessary for the average office worker to understand a scientific and healthy lifestyle. For freelancers who lack the ability to manage themselves, they must learn to arrange their daily work and life, such as formulating a detailed schedule grid to make their work more efficient and rhythmic, and the regularization of life can provide a continuous stream of internal motivation .
