-====== quánzhí: 全职 - Full-time ====== +
-===== Quick Summary ===== +
-  * **Keywords:** quánzhí, 全职, full-time in Chinese, full-time job, full-time work, 全职工作, quánzhí gōngzuò, full-time employee, full-time mom, 全职太太, Chinese work culture, part-time vs full-time in Chinese +
-  * **Summary:** Learn the essential Chinese term **全职 (quánzhí)**, which means **full-time**. This comprehensive guide explains how to use `全职` when talking about jobs, careers, and even family roles in modern China. Discover its cultural significance, from the highly valued stable "full-time job" (`全职工作`) to the socially debated role of the "full-time wife" (`全职太太`). This entry is perfect for learners who want to understand work and life in China beyond the textbook. +
-===== Core Meaning ===== +
-  * **Pinyin (with tone marks):** quánzhí +
-  * **Part of Speech:** Adjective / Noun +
-  * **HSK Level:** HSK 5 +
-  * **Concise Definition:** Full-time; engaging in a primary occupation for the standard number of hours. +
-  * **In a Nutshell:** `全职` is the direct equivalent of "full-time" in English, used almost exclusively in the context of work or a primary role. It signifies a main occupation that takes up a standard workweek, implying stability, a regular salary, and benefits. It's the opposite of `兼职 (jiānzhí)`, or "part-time." +
-===== Character Breakdown ===== +
-  * **全 (quán):** Means "whole," "entire," or "all." It's a simple and common character suggesting completeness. +
-  * **职 (zhí):** Means "duty," "post," or "job/occupation." It relates to one's professional responsibilities. +
-  * When combined, **全 (quán) + 职 (zhí)** literally means "whole duty" or "entire occupation." This perfectly captures the concept of a job that requires your full working hours and attention. +
-===== Cultural Context and Significance ===== +
-In Chinese culture, securing a **`全职`** job is a major life milestone, often seen as a prerequisite for stability, starting a family, and gaining social respect. It is closely linked to the traditional ideal of the **`铁饭碗 (tiě fànwǎn)`** or "iron rice bowl"—a secure, lifelong job. +
-A fascinating point of comparison with Western culture is the evolution of the term **`全职太太 (quánzhí tàitai)`**, meaning "full-time wife" or stay-at-home-mom. In the West, this role is common but the terminology can feel dated. In China, the term is widely used and sparks lively public debate. For some, it represents a life of luxury and a return to traditional family values. For others, it symbolizes a woman's sacrifice of her own career and financial independence. This single phrase opens a window into contemporary Chinese views on family, gender roles, and economic status. +
-More recently, a new term has emerged: **`全职儿女 (quánzhí érnǚ)`**, or "full-time children." This refers to young adults who, after graduating, are paid a "salary" by their parents to stay home, do chores, and provide companionship. This reflects both the immense pressure of the modern job market and the enduring strength of familial bonds. +
-===== Practical Usage in Modern China ===== +
-`全职` is a standard, neutral term used in various contexts: +
-  * **Job Hunting:** You will see `全职` constantly in job advertisements and on résumés. Companies specify if a position is `全职` or `兼职 (jiānzhí)`. +
-  * **Daily Conversation:** People use it to describe their employment status. For example, "I'm a full-time student" (`我是一个全职学生`). +
-  * **Describing Roles:** It's used to describe not just jobs but any role that requires a person's full-time dedication, like the `全职太太` example. +
-  * **Formality:** The term is neutral and can be used in both formal (contracts, interviews) and informal (talking with friends) settings. +

-===== Nuances and Common Mistakes ===== +
-  * **`全职 (quánzhí)` vs. `专职 (zhuānzhí)`:** This is a crucial distinction that often confuses learners. +
-    * **`全职 (quánzhí)`** refers to **time commitment**. It answers the question, "Do you work part-time or full-time?" +
-    * **`专职 (zhuānzhí)`** refers to **specialization or professionalism**. It answers the question, "Is this your dedicated profession or just a side-gig/hobby?" +
-    * **Example:** A doctor is a `专职 (zhuānzhí)` medical professional. He almost certainly also works `全职 (quánzhí)`. An amateur photographer who quits her office job to only do photography becomes a `专职` photographer. Whether she works `全职` (40+ hours/week) or `兼职` (part-time hours) is a separate question. +
-    * **Incorrect:** ~~我是专职工作。~~ (Wǒ shì zhuānzhí gōngzuò.) +
-    * **Correct:** 我是**全职**工作。(Wǒ shì quánzhí gōngzuò.) - I work full-time. +
-    * **Correct:** 我是一名**专职**司机。(Wǒ shì yī míng zhuānzhí sījī.) - I am a professional driver. +
-  * **Don't Forget the Noun:** In English, we can say "I work full-time." In Chinese, while you can say `我是全职的 (Wǒ shì quánzhí de)`, it's more common and clear to include the noun, as in `我有一份全职工作 (Wǒ yǒu yí fèn quánzhí gōngzuò)`. +
