Job seekers will get the chance to learn about available jobs, have one-on-one conversations with company recruiters and distribute their resumes.
From Halekulani to Hawaii State FCU, we are excited to feature opportunities in a wide variety of job categories including law enforcement, construction, nursing, foodservice, tourism & hospitality, financial institutions, emergency services, retail, technology, transportation and so much more. There will be a good variety of jobs being offered from the City and County of Honolulu and State of Hawaii.

Amongst participating employers is the Honolulu Police Department, which is ready to give a preview of open positions and expectations.
"The last recruit class, we had about 27 so the classes have been getting bigger. We have a $25,000 incentive so money is not everything but obviously living in Hawaii is very expensive. Hopefully, the $25,000 hiring incentive will really push people to want to join and then also want to serve their community," explained Cody Kodama, HPD officer.
If you're ready to take the next step in your career, head to Blaisdell Center on Wednesday, Oct. 30 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
