Moving to East Hawaii & Seeking a Job? Pls read.

[Gardenia Lady]

Upon initially reading this thread, it became clear that to refer strictly to one's self would be paramount to avoiding the idea that there is any type of descriminatory intentions involved.

In reading past threads on this forum that have touched upon this particular subject, an observation could be drawn that certain verbiage may (or may not have) lead to unreasonably heated cross-talk which is not attractive or helpful to anyone.

The excessive use of "I" in the earlier post was intentional, and not necessarily an example of a lack of humility.

Continuing to seek gainful employment is the objective here. Dissecting the personalities of everyone who arrives here from another land mass and who applies for positions in this state again, is not helpful.

Any reasonable advice offered that will help in the pursuit of a position that is suited to my skills and disposition would be gratefully received. Mahalo.

Well Gardenia lady we,ve lived here since 2001, my hubby got a job with the coh last year, what did he do,first he served on a bunch of committees/volunteer community stuff etc... Then they check to see how much property you own(seems to be a prerequisite).I believe he name dropped as well.After going to company parties we learned all the haoles were jewish (takes one to know oneBut don't feel too bad as there seemed to be even less native Hawaiians working for the coh.Good luck in your job search the hiring market is way better than it use to be.

Gardina Lady,

Now remember wht you've learned here if you do get an interview with one of the above links:

1. Don't use the word "I" in the interview.

2. Be sure and brag about the fact that you just purchased a Cemetery plot on the BI. This will let them know you're here for the long run.

3. You have recently converted to the Jewish Religion. (Wear a Yamica)

4. You do all your shopping at Longs Drug Stores.

5. Tell them you don't really want the job as you'd just as well sit at home and draw Social Security.



Seriously... I don't know that I'd have played the race card..but hey it's your plate you put on it what you want. Don't give up, take it all with a grain of salt. Good luck and let us know how it goes.

Take care,
dave
