WHAT THEY REALLY MEAN (PRAGMATIC SUBTEXT)
“I don't have a secure official job yet, I'm just helping out on temporary projects.”

In historical China, formal state job assignment (工作分配) carried elite status and iron-rice-bowl security; lacking one made temporary assisting work feel humble and provisional.
