Summary: My business idea I am proposing to others is the same as I posted in my "Solving the Problem" post. A student temp service that is there to help students keep their employers satisfied while the students study. Students will take a competency test to place them in the right job sector. I conducted a 5-person survey inside of Library West. The foundation of my survey contained 4 questions: Do you have a job?, Would you like the opportunity to earn extra cash without any commitments?, I proposed my business idea and then asked would you sign up?, and What type of work would you be open to doing? I wanted to make the interview brief because the students in Library West at the University of Florida are hard at work studying but also take away valuable input from them.
WHO?: I interviewed 5 students in Library West: 1. Stephanie Spraker, 2. Alex Hong, 3. Carla Gonzalez, 4. Erin Pins, and 5. Le Kin. Alex is the only one with a job currently. He is an automotive technician at GMC of Gainesville while studying Mechanical Engineering at UF. Stephanie, Alex, Carla, and Erin were all open to my business proposition, Le was not. Le fell outside of boundary because she is completely committed to her Urban Planning curriculum here at UF.
WHAT?: The need of the desire of more time to study differs from the need for more hours to work greatly. This is because studying is an investment in ourselves to elevate us to the next level of our lives. Most students have miscellaneous jobs do not contribute as much as their studies do to their career.
WHY?: It seems as if Le's need does differ from everyone else's. She has completely devoted herself to her Urban Planning study regiment and has no interest in earning extra cash or workforce experience at this point in time. Stephanie, Alex, Carla, and Erin were all open to the idea and were enthusiastic about earning extra cash and workforce experience.
I think this is a really good idea. As a student I don't have a whole lot of time to do anything because I also work but if I had the power to make my own schedule all the time it would do wonders not only for me and my studies but also my reputation at my job. I can understand why certain students in certain fields of study wouldn't even want to engage because of the massive time commitment their studies require.
ReplyDeleteHey Cayman!
ReplyDeleteI thought your summary was very comprehensive and displayed what information you learned really well. I am glad you listed out your who, what, where, when, and why, as it made figuring out what you wrote for each of them easier to discern. Between the graph and the individual explanations, your who, what, and why were thoroughly explained; I felt like nothing was left to the imagination in regards to those three things due to how descriptive you were. Next time, I would consider writing more about each of the interviews themselves so we can better see what information you got from each one. Great job!
