خلفية ثقافية
The concept of 'Slash Youth' (斜杠青年) has made part-time work trendy in China. It reflects a shift from lifetime employment to a gig economy where people value multiple income streams and skillsets. In university culture, taking a 'jianzhi' is seen as a vital rite of passage for gaining 'social experience'.
The 'Slash' Identity
If you have a side hustle, you can call yourself a 'Slash Youth' (斜杠青年). It's a very cool way to say you do `兼职`.
Check Your Visa
In China, international students often need specific permission to do `兼职`. Always double-check the legalities before starting!

What It Means
兼职 is your go-to word for anything part-time. It describes a job that isn't your main 'gig.' Think of it as wearing two hats at once. One hat is your main life. The other is your side hustle. It covers everything from tutoring to delivery work.
How To Use It
You can use it as a noun or a verb. If you say 我做兼职, you are saying 'I do part-time work.' You can also use it as an adjective. For example, 兼职老师 means a 'part-time teacher.' It is very flexible in sentences. Just drop it before the job title or after the verb 做.
When To Use It
Use this when talking about your schedule with friends. It is perfect for job interviews for student roles. Use it when explaining why you are busy on weekends. It sounds professional yet grounded. If you are a student working at a cafe, this is your word. If you are a designer taking freelance commissions, this fits too.
When NOT To Use It
Don't use it for a full-time career. Even if you love the job, if it's 40 hours a week, it is 全职. Avoid using it for one-off favors for friends. If you help a friend move and they buy you pizza, that's not 兼职. Also, don't confuse it with 实习 (internship). Internships are for learning; 兼职 is usually for the paycheck.
Cultural Background
In China, the 'Slash Youth' (斜杠青年) culture is huge. Many young people don't want just one identity. They want to be an 'Accountant / Photographer.' This makes 兼职 very popular. It is no longer just for people who need money. It is a way to explore passions. However, some traditional companies might frown upon it if it distracts from your main job. Always check your contract!
Common Variations
You might hear 打工, which is more colloquial. 打工 often implies manual or service labor. 兼职 sounds a bit more formal and neutral. There is also 外快, which specifically means 'extra money' earned on the side. If you are doing something very high-end, you might call it a 顾问 (consultant) role instead.
ملاحظات الاستخدام
The phrase is highly versatile and neutral. It can be used in any setting from a corporate HR office to a casual chat at a bar. Just remember that it specifically denotes a secondary or non-full-time commitment.

Experience over Money
When interviewing for a part-time job in China, emphasize that you want 'social experience' (社会经验), not just the money.
