Trang 7PART A: INTRODUCTION
1 Rationale for the study
Nowadays, a part-time job is very popular among college students It is gradually becoming an essential part of their lives Although there are various choices in different fields, most of them tend to work in the industry they choose
at school Therefore, I will research the part-time job tendency of HUBT students
2 Aims and objectives of the study
We know, these days young people in Vietnam always want to have a part-time job while they are in university It has become really popular among students and even adults, as it is affordable and easily becomes “addictive” Consequently, the need of finding part-time jobs brings more working experiences to college students Therefore, I decided to research to have a deeper understanding of HUBT students’ points of view on the trend of working part-time jobs It will help me understand more about the jobs and the reasons why they are interested in doing part-time work
3 Research questions

disadvantages of doing part-time jobs?

3 Result, remark
A part-time job is an experience that students should have It helps you gain experience, struggle in your life and create new relationships Not everyone has a good job with a lot of income at the start, so you need to try to understand as well as possible, and show your ability to get a suitable job
Secondly, part-time jobs are not for lazy people The harder your work, the easier to reach your dreams, and the easier to reach higher positions in your life
A part-time job is the first piece for you to complete the picture of your life Thirdly, a part-time job is the best way to educate a big extravagant spender They will appreciate the money that they make by themselves Especially for students who are being raised by their parents
Trang 131 Recaputation
We can see that most of the students today have part-time jobs The reasons explain for that is this is not a demanding job However, it has a reasonable salary and flexible time for students
This project aimed at HUBT students who had the experience of working part-time In our research, we want to give some information about the trend of doing part-time jobs Moreover, this also provides advantages and disadvantages
of this job through HUBT students’ experiences Besides, this research offered the solutions they have used to overcome the challenge when they were doing at their workplace Over recent years, business in Vietnam has been increasing a lot, and we can see that recruitment articles are everywhere So, this means that they need more workers After completing this survey, we found that although these are easy jobs, it still has some challenges for workers This study can help new workers can know the real situation of these jobs, and workers who are
doing part-time jobs can find solutions to solve this job’s challenges.
2 Limitation of the study
Although the study has certain strong points such as collection methods, and survey questionnaires for students, due to limited time, lack of sources, and other unexpected factors, it is obvious that the study has got some short-coming Despite the mentioned limitations, I hope that this exploratory research will contribute to a better situation in choosing a part-time job
3 Suggestions for further study
Because of the limitations, this study could not cover all aspects of the study Besides, the study only focuses on college students in their second year at Hanoi University of Business and Technology Moreover, for further studies, to get better results, the research should invite more participants and the data collection
Trang 14method Together with using survey questionnaires and interviews, observation
is also necessary to get more persuasive conclusions All in all, despite the study, can avoid the limitation, the research has been completed under the guidance of the supervisor and self-effort Any comments and criticism will be highly appreciated for better further study
