China's job classification is based on the "Occupational Classification Code of the People's Republic of China", which classifies existing occupations into 8 major categories, 66 medium categories, 413 sub-categories, and 1838 occupations.

1.

2. Industry classification: divided according to the characteristics of economic activities, such as education industry, medical and health industry, IT industry, etc.

3. Skill type: classified according to the professional skills required, such as machine builders, electricians, welders, carpenters, etc.

4. Labor intensity: Classified according to the labor intensity of the work, such as heavy physical labor types and light manual labor types.

5. Education level: Classified according to the education level required by the job, such as ordinary workers, senior technicians, professional technicians, managers, etc.

The above are some common job classification methods.

Let's take an example below, using "technical type" as the classification standard. Suppose a factory is recruiting workers in the manufacturing department, then the positions can be classified according to the professional skills required.

First of all, mechanics are needed, mainly responsible for the maintenance, upkeep and repair of mechanical equipment on the production line. They need to master a variety of skills such as machine processing, electrical automation, hydraulic transmission, etc., and have a high technical level and rich operating experience.

Then there is the welder, who is mainly responsible for the implementation and supervision of the welding process to ensure the quality of the product and the safety of the project. They need to master various welding techniques and material properties, as well as related quality inspection and safety regulations.

Then there are assemblers, who are mainly responsible for assembling and debugging parts and components to ensure that the quality and technical specifications of the products meet the requirements. They need to be familiar with basic skills such as mechanical design principles, drawing interpretation and use of assembly tools, and have certain operating experience and a serious and responsible attitude.

Then electricians are mainly responsible for the installation, debugging and maintenance of electrical equipment to ensure the normal operation of production equipment. They need to master skills such as electrical automation, circuit principles and troubleshooting, as well as related safety regulations and operating procedures. These are the common types of work in the factory manufacturing department. Each type of work requires different professional skills and has different characteristics and responsibilities. In actual recruitment, companies can conduct technical interviews and operational assessments on candidates based on their own needs and job requirements to select employees that suit them.
