Whether you’ve just moved to Hawaii and are looking for a job or have lived here all your life and want to transition into a new role, Real Jobs is a valuable resource for all Hawaii jobseekers. Not only is the job board completely free to use, it’s also home to 100% local and verified positions. That means you don’t have to spend time worrying about whether or not you’re getting roped into a scam or an out-of-state role. Instead, Real Jobs allows you to focus on applying for legitimate positions and presenting yourself as the best candidate for the job.

Here are three tips for using Real Jobs to find a new opportunity in Hawaii.

1. Understand the job market

   Real Jobs organizes positions into over 40 categories, making it a great place to get a feel for what types of positions are available or common in the state. Start your search by narrowing down the results to a certain industry. This will save you time and ensure that you’re seeing results that are relevant to the type of position you’re looking for. You can also find out which companies are hiring by sorting your results by company name.

2. Customize your resume

   A best practice when looking for a job is to tailor your resume to each company or type of position that you apply for. After logging into your Real Jobs account, you can upload as many versions of your resume as you need. We recommend uploading PDF versions of your resume and using unique titles for each file in order to avoid accidentally sending out the wrong one.

3. Stay up-to-date

   Attending networking events or hiring fairs, understanding the business community, and learning how to stand out from the pack is an important part of being a jobseeker in Hawaii. The Real Jobs blog is a great resource for all this information. The blog regularly features jobseeker tips and advice, highlights upcoming events in the community, and features behind-the-scenes videos of companies that are currently hiring. Make sure to also follow the Real Jobs social accounts to stay up-to-date with what’s happening on the blog and in the community.
