What is the best way to look and apply for jobs when moving out of state?|171678

I currently live in Illinois but I am moving to Hawaii in May. I am not going there before I move. Do I start applying now? Or do I wait until I get there and then start applying. I do not want to be without a job for too long once I get there.

Subscribing to the daily newspaper? Looking in the telephone directory? Does anyone really still do this? Come on Clifford! Are you really placing people in jobs without using the web? Amazing.

www.honoluluadvertiser.com yes it_s free
www.starbulletin.com yes, it_s free

www.google.com amazing _new_ site that can do all sorts of things once done with papers, photographs, maps, magazines, books, etc. Oh yeah, it_s free.

Job posting sites abound! You can even find them with google! Don_t waste your time with monster. Biggest? yes. Odds of getting a hit? nil.

Join as many business networking sites as you can maintain (professional ones like www.linkedin.com, not myspace or facebook).

Good luck, what you are trying to do is possible, but be forewarned, Hawai_i has a high unemployment rate and the locals depend heavily on city/county, state and federal jobs to sustain their economy. Many more jobs are unionized than elsewhere in the US and it is a religion there. Don_t mess with the unions! If you take a job that has a union, it will not be a _choice_. Racism is alive and well, especially if you are from the mainland US. The _locals_ are from many different backgrounds, and do blend with other ethnicities, both socially and marriage, but they are still very wary of haoles (literally - white foreigner, mostly mainland US, but no longer a derogatory term, much). Not sure of your ethinicity, but if it_s not one that has been in Hawai_i for over 100 years, you won_t be there long before you experience racism at many levels. On the other hand, they can be the warmest, friendliest, most helpful people on Earth. I think it depends heavily on how willing you are to adopt to their culture, a very important part of living there. The majority are in the friendly category. I developed some very dear and life-long friends there. If you have more specific questions, post them and I_ll try to watch for them and answer.

Much Aloha!

I_d recommend Monster.com, they might also have jobs posted in a local newspaper online. I_d apply now and schedule interviews before you travel there. That way the trip won_t be waste of time.

A couple of methods I_ve used include 1. subscribing to that
city_s daily newspaper,2. consulting a telephone directory
for that city to identify recruiters, staffing agencies, etc. 3.
if you are looking for work in a particular industry use that
to identify firms that need your skill 4. check with that city_s
Chamber of Commerce . Since you_re going cold turkey just make certain you have a place to crash, as much money
as possible to amass, a current resume , be skilled in the art of persuasion , and have lots of energy. You_ll be okay. Break
a leg ...!! Remember, its all show biz...
