Trump Tower Waikiki Jobs?

Opening in 2009 but what about the jobs?

 

The Trump Tower Waikiki is set to open in 2009 with the site boasting a “Devoted staff will enhance your experience”. This means jobs but how many? What types, and the most important question, when and where can you apply? Well the details seem hard to come by right now and after checking at Trump’s employment site, and various other sources I have come up empty handed.

 

We have other brands opening up in Hawaii around the same time and they have already started recruiting. Trump Tower Waikiki is a fee simple condo but it will have amenities that require staff. As soon as I find something out you will see it here.

ING Direct is coming to Waikiki

The nation’s largest direct bank coming to Waikiki in the fall of 2008

After seeing Local Motion for so long at 1958 Kalakaua Avenue a bank would seem like an unlikely tenant for the location, but with so many local banks serving our ohana a mainland bank seems like a great fit for Waikiki and its visitors. ING Direct is not your typical financial institution, inspiring savings and a café environment as well. Who knows what the future holds for ING Direct and Hawaii. The only position open on their website right now is for a Café Sales Associate, but if you go on their website it will give you more details on the position.

The introduction of a new financial institution here in the islands with the brand recognition of ING direct will attract not only new customers, but employees from other banks looking for a fresh change. Cleo Brown a veteran financial executive will head Hawaii operations and lead ING Directs internet café and direct banking in Hawaii. Brown also mentions in a recent article in the Honolulu Advertiser that ING Direct already has more than 20,000 customers here.

They even have a video on their website. Check it out.
