<title>ABSTRACT</title>
<p>According to the statistics, more than 73% of Taiwanese college students had part-time job experience (Huang &#38; Lin, 2010). Part-time working is both instrumentally and integratively oriented. Hence, the study aimed to investigate students&#8217; part-time job interest from a career-oriented perspective. A total of 78 English major students in a private university in south Taiwan served as subjects. They helped to fill out an 80-item questionnaire dealing with their personal background, part-time job interest and experience, as well as English learning motivation and attitude. All available data were processed by SPSS 17. Findings showed that students&#8217; self accomplishment and job ability enhancement from working significantly related to their part-time engagement. It is suggested that teachers and parents hold positive attitude toward students&#8217; part-time engagement, and students should keep a good balance of studying and working before graduation. </p>
