Helpwantedhawaii.info UPDATE
Aloha
Helpwantedhawaii.info has been down for quite some time and we are currently working toward bringing the website back online. STAY TUNED
Hawaii’s Department of Labor Website
A good starting point for jobs in Hawaii is the Department of Labor’s website. They have alot of good information to help you find a job with Hirenet Hawaii the State’s job website and links to information for anyone who is looking for work. One great feature is up to date information right on the home page as well as information for employers. If you are registered with the State to collect unemployment then you are registered on Hirenet Hawaii, if your not I encourage you to use the website they list jobs that you cannot find anywhere else.
Turn Off’s for Online Job Seekers
I can remember the good ol days when you actually walked around with a stack of resumes and visited employers, can you? These days though applying on-line is the way to find a job and with that application process comes certain turn offs, or problems that may be costing you top talent. When it comes to the internet, on-line job boards, or applicant tracking systems lets be honest, simple and fast is successful and slow and time consuming is a big turn off. If your looking for talent the best way for you to handle this situation is to allow for a simple initial application process, once you have screened these applicants a more thorough process is acceptable. A great example is when you visit an on-line job board and you have spent hours creating a profile masterpiece, only to be re-directed to the employers site to repeat the entire process over again. If you are relying on auto population for resumes you are creating another headache sure the resume populates, but then you have to spend an hour doing QA. Today job seekers want simplicity not redundancy. Another big turn off is missing salary information, if it is such a big secret then perhaps its not that attractive to begin with. My suggestion is to stop dodging what could drag out your interview process even longer when they reject your offer. Be upfront on-line! Finally if your posting a job on-line and your not getting many responses it could be your generic job posting. It may look like spam, no details, or lack of information. Be as descriptive as possible.

Hawaii’s Unemployment Rate Steady at 7.4%
The numbers are out and Hawaii’s unemployment rate is holding steady at 7.4%. The US Department of Labor reported that Hawaii has 645,528 in the labor force with 597,783 employed, and 47,745 unemployed. Hawaii’s Economic Research Organization (UHERO) is forecasting that Hawaii’s jobless rate will continue to rise until it peaks over 8 percent in the middle of next year. They also expect that our jobless rate will average 7.5 percent in 2011. These are not encouraging numbers but as I have mentioned in the past people are going to start moving away to find work or go back to school as this goes on. Hawaii is an island so unlike the mainland where you can drive further and more opportunities exist options are limited. It is going to be a slow road ahead but we will pull through this. If you have questions or concerns you can contact us a Help Wanted Hawaii by posting in the forum or emailing us at support@helpwantedhawaii.info

Hawaii’s Hiring Hot Spots
Finding a job these days is tougher than ever, maybe you think the internet is the only way to find a job, think again! Hawaii has plenty of jobs but only if your willing to get out and meet people, take a walk, and network. If your looking for some hiring hot spots then consider taking a stroll in Waikiki, Ala Moana, or one of the malls on any one of the islands. Since the flood of candidates this year due to record unemployment some companies have reverted back to the way people used to find employees, a HELP WANTED sign. You can hardly walk a block these days in Waikiki without seeing one, “Inquire Within” it says. These jobs are for the taking and with some confidence, proper attire, and a resume you may find yourself with a job yet. Since opening up the “Help Wanted Hawaii Sign Spotter” in our forum Helpwantedhawaii.info encourages users to let everyone know when you spot a sign, let our users know. It is just one more way for you to find employment, and fast.

Governor Lingle or the Unions What do you think?
It is coming down to the wire and Governor Lingle said that pink slips will be going out soon if an agreement cannot be reached. It really isnt that complicated the Governor wanted furloughs and the unions wanted something else, and the court ruled against the furloughs. What is your opinion? Is the Governor right? Are the unions right? Is the court getting involved a problem? Helpwantedhawaii.info wants to know your thoughts on the situation. As many as 2,500 state workers could be given notice but union negotiators remain optimistic. Helpwantedhawaii.info hopes that all parties can come to a quick resolution for all.
