Advice finding a job for Relocating to Hawaii?
Hello, I am planning on relocating to Honolulu, HI sometime in April/May, and I plan to visit honolulu, HI next week to view apartments. However, I am also going to take this opportunity and try to get my resume out to various companies. I want to have a job and source of income before I relocate. I know that economy isn't the greatest but I recently received my MBA and have some years of experience as an Administrator & Analyst (mostly in the area of Transportation/Logistics). I've done my research and I'm aware that the salaries/pay is lower in Hawaii than on the mainland. I've accepted this and I'm also open to any types of jobs (only two exceptions are Sales/Commission based and involve travel out of state). My question is this....Are there any particular companies that are big local but don't have a large online presence that I should make a point to stop at? Hawaii seems to have a large amount of small/family owned companies. Where is the best place to get my resume out in large numbers? (Bishop Street seems to house a decent amount of companies from my research, anywhere else?) Also, I want the companies to know that I am serious about relocating and I'm hoping this will help show them, but I'm not totally sure. I plan on paying for the relocation expenses. Any advice, tips, or opinions are welcomed. And hank you in advance for your help. Mahalo.
I am moving to Canada... Need help finding a certain enviroment?
Alright so, I am moving to Canada once I am done studying in Florida, US (Auto Technician with Ford) that would be about a year from now. And I am trying to find a place that would fit to what I'd like to see every night. Just a nice city so when me and my girlfriend go out and stuff like that we get to see many nice views and just spend the night having fun out there, exploring. Not much of a party person, much of a explorer. Anyways, I'll show you guys some pictures... It doesn't have to be exactly like this but at least similar. I just love to see big buildings at night, it makes me happy in a way. Here are some examples: http://hyder.me/wp-content/uploads/chicago-night-large.jpg http://www.playthings.com/articles/blog/390000439/20090714/new-york-city-at-night.jpg http://www.richard-seaman.com/USA/Cities/Chicago/Landmarks/ChicagoAtNight1.jpg http://www.zastavki.com/pictures/1024x768/2008/Cities_Night_skyscraper_005353_.jpg I just need to see if there would be a place like this in Canada, I've always wanted to live in a place like this. I know some might even be very expensive... But that doesn't mean I'll go right into it, right when I am done with school. I am just taking things easy and slow now that way everything will be ready when I leave. My girlfriend suggested Winnipeg, If any of these can be found in Manitoba it would be better for me. So the main question is. Where can I find a city like this in Canada to that would be fun and entertaining for a family of 2 to live in? If one is located in Winnipeg it would be awesome. Thank you, Leon.
Should I move to Chicago, IL ?
Well some of the things that you mentioned about Los Angeles that you disliked you will find in Chicago as well (and most any big city for that matter). We have bad traffic (not as bad as L.A. but at rush hour it can be pretty bad on certain express ways.) Example: I had an interview at a company that was 45 minutes away from me scheduled for 9:30 am. I left my house at 8am and was 30 minutes late - getting there at 10:00am (total commute time of 2 hours). We also have numerous potholes. So plan on driving fairly slowly. Personally I prefer the suburbs of Chicago because there's still some pretty decent things to do for recreation, it's not as crowded, you can drive more than 30 miles per hour on most streets, it usually only takes about 15 minutes to get anywhere you need to go, while in the city it takes more like 30 minutes to 1 hour to get most places that would only take 15-20 minutes in the suburbs. (Plus the streets are smoother). Plus you can take the Metra Train from the suburbs and get to downtown in an hour or less. I live IN Chicago and it takes me an hour or more to get downtown riding the bus. What was it about Chicago that had such an impact on you? It seems like you WANT to experience cold so I will say that you'll definitely experience it here. Be prepared for below zero weather in winter. The only things I can tell you would be tough are some of the same things you mentioned disliking about LA - traffic, crime, and pot holes. A lot of people also get tired of winter because it lasts 7+ months of the year. I'd say since you seemed to like it so much when you visited that yes you may like it here. Just have a job lined up first (if possible) or enough money to get you through at least 6 months because finding a job will probably be the most difficult task. Just keep in mind, visiting Chicago and living here are not the same. When you visit you are most likely here strickly for recreation. When you live here you're busy working (or trying to find work), going to school, getting stuck in traffic, trying to get your car out of the snow while tightly parrallell parked, etc. And occasionally you'll go out to eat, go shopping, or visit a museum.
There are several things to consider when purchasing your first boat. In a article I published a few months ago, Buying Your First Boat[1], I outlined the following to help you get started on your journey to becoming a boat owner:FINDING THE RIGHT SIZEPOWER NEEDSBOAT COSTSThere are so many different brands of boats out there as there are automobiles. However, purchasing a boat/yacht is more like purchasing a house, being that you will be living on your vessel. Bayliner and Trawler have some great options. I would suggest some forward planning as to how much space you will need as your 4 year old, as much as we wish, will not stay 4 years old for ever.For additional resources on livaboard boating, refer to www.living-aboard.com/types-of-liveaboard-boats.html[2]Happy Sailing!Footnotes[1] Seattle's Premier Boat Detailing | The Mobile Boat Guy[2] Types Of Liveaboard Boats. You Have Many Choices.
All my answers seem to start with “that depends.”What is your price range? If you are looking for $1,500 and above for a studio or one bedroom, you will have plenty of options. As a Realtor and landlord myself, I can assure you there has been 1,000s of apartments coming online this year (this is known as a softer market). These are new, have great amenties, are in urban villages (denser neighborhoods with services). If you will be making a good salary you will have a lot of options.If you are working in a service industry or making $50,00 a year or less, you will have fewer choices. Apartments that are less than approx $1,500 a month or less will be older and not have the amenities of the larger ones. They might not be in the heart of an urban village, could be in quieter place, and located more in the single family neighborhoods etc. You will find these places on third party sites, and yes, Craigs List- so buyer beware.Timing: I personally won’t rent to anyone that hasn’t seen their unit. Corporate owners will have different rules. Leases typically are for one year, so you want to be sure when you sign a contract it’s somewhere you want to live as it can be costly to break a lease. I suggest visiting the unit and Seattle before signing the lease. Many units in smaller places are rented in a couple of days, so visiting after the 10th of the month is a great idea. If you can, I suggest booking an Airbnb for a month (the rates are usually less for several weeks) and exploring different neighborhoods and spending different times of the days in neighborhoods you like. Then you can focus on the sites that work for you.Do you need parking, public transportation, saftey on the streets, shopping within walking distance, quiet, or an active nightlife outside your door, biking or running trails? These are all things you will know by staying in Seattle for a little bit before signing that binding lease and visiting you chosen site different times of the day.Welcome!
If I'm looking to move to Hawaii, which Island is best as for as safety and jobs?
The hardest thing you may encounter is finding a job. Locals tend to hire locals. The main reason being that they have all had bad experiences of people like yourself who move to Hawaii to "escape" and live the good life, but then after a month or two, they discover that "paradise" isn't all its cracked up to be and return to the mainland...leaving the employer holding the bag after investing time and effort in training them. However, if you do decide to make the move, do NOT look for a place to live in Waikiki! That's lunacy. You might do well to check out the ads online and get an idea of how much rent will set you back. You might also want to check craigslist or other listings for the possibility of sharing an apartment, although that has its drawbacks as well. Sounds like you mainly need to move away from where you're presently living, but don't necessarily have to move to Hawaii. If the police are following you all the way home, you obviously have a problem neighborhood...MOVE! Jobs are tough to get all over, but restaurants are notorious for their high turnover. If you have restaurant management experience you know what I mean. So, you probably could find a job somewhere if you looked around. I would definitely move, but not sure I'd advise you to move to Hawaii. Do your homework BEFORE you buy that plane ticket. It could save you a lot of headaches in the long run.
I am looking to build a fitness program for myself...?
first of all.... GOOD FOR YOU for quitting smoking and starting a healthier lifestyle... you will feel immensly better and you are setting a wonderful example for your kids!!! try finding a gym that has programs for kids... the local YMCA is a great place to start... very family oriented and if you're low income they have financial assistance programs. if that's not an option talk to other parents in the neighborhood and find out what they do, maybe you could start a walking group or regular trip to the park... the kiddos can play and the parents can walk "laps" around the playground, and just playing with the kids is great cardio, their boundless energy is a great motivator. for rainy days there are lots of exercise videos that are designed for parents to do with the kids... Denise Austin has a great one. also, my moms favorite trick for getting everyone moving on rainy days... turn off the tv and turn on the radio... find a great beat and turn your livingroom into a dance floor! good luck and have fun! the pilates lady ;)
Should I move to Toronto after high school?
Problem is that if you are not Canadian, you just can't choose to up and move to Canada. In USA, a foreigner needs a US Lawful Permanent Resident card (AKA "green card") in order to live and work there legally. In Canada, it's the same thing...you would need a Canadian Permanent Resident visa before you can live here and work. You can get a TEMPORARY job, which you need job skills that Canadians don't have or have a shortage of. If you are just a graduate from high school, you will have the bare minimum of skills and no experience. There is no way you would get accepted into Canada as a skilled worker or for any job that I can think of. What you can do is after high school, go into a trade school and learn skills as a truck driver, or in the mining industry, or something like heavy machinery mechanic. Then you could come up and work in the oil and gas industry, or mining which tends to have a shortage of workers. Take a look at the requirements on Canada's immigration website to see how hard it is to qualify, and remember you are competing with millions of other people applying to come into Canada, along with maybe a million people who are looking for jobs and who already live in Canada.
