Respondents were asked why they feel it is difficult to get part time jobs. Majority (41%, n = 41)
stated frustrations from the host country as the major setback for them to get part time jobs,
language barrier was the second most contributing factor (25%, n = 25), inflexible working hours
and lack of work experience contributed to 20% (n = 20) and 14% (n = 14) respectively.

In terms of job preference, majority (49%, n = 49) would like to have seasonal jobs, followed by
18% (n = 18) who would prefer internship. 17% (n = 17) the participants would prefer on-
