About Honolulu - job after high school

Honolulu - job after high school?
Hi, I know it sounds crazy, but I would like to find a job in Honolulu after I finish my high school (as a gap year - after that I would go to a uni...). I am from Slovakia - EU, and of course I will need some visa - but I would receive my working visa just if I had an employer already before leaving to Honolulu(I don't know if i can work with some other visas, even if illegally :) ) And as I was planning to go to Honolulu and finding a job right on the place( I heard it isn't hard to find a job like a waiter or some other easy jobs...), there's a problem because it's almost impossible to find a job by the internet without having any diploma or anything... So if there is anyone that has some experience with receiving a visa or working in Honolulu in maybe similar conditions to mine, than please give me some advice :) thanks :)

Answer 1 :
Well you have heard wrong. Unemployment is high right now, you might have to work at least two jobs. Being a waiter is not easy. We just had three Target Stores open here. Each store only needed about 300 employees, Thousands of people showed up. I have a good friend who is a waitress at the Hard Rock Cafe here hour have gone down severely and when she does work it can be slow (lack of customers). My question to you would be is: Why do you want to live in Hawaii? I find that many believe it to be a 24/7 vacation.
Answer 2 :
Without a visa you can not work in the U.S. Without at least a masters degree (preferably a PhD) in a highly specialized field no U.S. company is going to sponsor you for a work visa. The state of Hawaii is laying off workers. It is tough for Americans with their 4 year bachelor degrees so there isn't going to be much hope for you. My advice is that you travel around a bit for fun and then attend uni. The sooner, the better.

where can you buy Bath and Body Works products in Honolulu Hawaii?
I live in Honolulu and whenever one of my friends has one of the Bath and Body Works things they say they bought it in Vegas or something and i really want to have some of the hand sanitizers. also there is no bath and body works stores on the island

Answer 1 :
at Bath & Body Works stores. or the website.
Answer 2 :
does it have to be that brand or can you go to the mall like Pearl ridge
Answer 3 :
Most of the products are available online at bathandbodyworks.com. You might have to pay a bit more to have it shipped, but it is probably going to be the best way for you to buy the products, unless you are planning a trip to the mainland any time soon. (If you are, there is a store locator on the website that can let you know if there are any BBW stores nearby.) Good luck!

We don't have a Cintas here that I know of. The closest thing we have to do that a place called Crazy Shirts. Rental property here goes for around $1500-$1800 for a one bedroom. $1000-$1200 for a studio. Add utilities of around $200/month. Email me if you need more info.

About What kind of attire do people wear to work in Honolulu

What kind of attire do people wear to work in Honolulu?
Do most business professionals wear shirts, ties, pants, etc. like any other city in the country? I'm sure things may be a little more lax, but I'm assuming that most business professionals have to wear the standard appropriate clothing year round. It seems like the weather is fairly constant throughout the year. How hot does it get? Would it be any more uncomfortable to have to wear pants year round than anywhere else? I live in NYC and will be moving. I'm used to wearing pants during out summers which are hot and humid and its tolerable. I'll be going to graduate school and then working in HI, so most likely I'll wear pants to work/class everyday. Opinions? By the way, I'll wear pants to class because I have tattoos on my legs, that I don't really want showing while at school.

Answer 1 :
Dressy pants and the typical "aloha" shirt are considered to be normal business attire.
Answer 2 :
The majority of businesses have the same dress requirements as the ones on the mainland. Temperatures in Hawaii usually stay in the 70's to 80's year round in most parts.
Answer 3 :
Slacks, like Dockers are good. For shirts, usually an aloha shirt or a short-sleeved button down. Depending on your office or school, polo style shirts are okay, too. Below are two vendors of aloha wear here in Hawaii. Reyns' items are nice, usually muted colors. Hilo Hattie is usually a bit brighter, but some of the designs are a little more fun. Enjoy the classes!
Answer 4 :
The only people who wear coats & ties are attorneys & the local newscasters. I am a nurse & when we see a doctor in a coat & tie, it means either that they are going to court or onto one of the local morning news programs. Nice slacks and an aloha shirt or polo type shirt are almost always acceptable.
Answer 5 :
I occasionally see sport jackets or suits and dress shirts with ties in the business district, but you always assume these people are attorneys. The court room is the only place where that seems to me the norm. We had "Casual Fridays" long before the phrase was coined. Nice aloha shirts with dress slacks are pretty much the standard for most men. I suggest you take a day and sit in Tamarind Square during lunch time. This is in the heart of the downtown business district, and you can people watch to get a feel for what is acceptable.

Answer 1 :
GPS, the G is for Global. so I'm guessing yes.
Answer 2 :
It depends on what maps are supported by/loaded into your GPS. We had a Garmin (it was stolen here on Oahu) and it worked fine in Hawaii.
Answer 3 :
It would probably work here, but beware, sometimes they can be a little screwy on an island. Some may be programmed to just take you the most direct route from point "A" to point "B", and you would be surprised the way they take you. Check with your rental car company...most already have them installed.
Answer 4 :
GPS works fine here. It's a target for thieves, so be careful to hide it after you park.
Answer 5 :
yeah, garmin is awesome
Answer 6 :
It should. I know that when we bring our GPS units to the mainland they seem to work fine. Good luck and happy travels!
Answer 7 :
Yes, it will work in Hawaii. It will work anywhere in the USA in all 50 states. Thats why most truck drivers use GPS when they need to find there way around. So yes it will work in hawaii.

You have to be 15 to get a worker's permit here, so legal work is not an option (unless you want to go do farm work). You can work under the table for a food place, or deliver papers, or something like that.

Can you live in Kona, Hawai'i and work in Honolulu?
If so how would you travel from island to island?
Honolulu - 3 Answers
People's Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
Answer 1 :
I think you'd have to take a plane (ticket costs about $160 round-trip). There was going to be a superferry that went between Honolulu and Kona, but that hasn't happened yet.
Answer 2 :
Well, if you are really rich and need to go to the office about once week, that might work. Traveling between islands involves flights (expensive, time consuming), and is not exactly a commute for regular folks. This might work for you if you are a film star, rock idol, or other gazillionaire. Other than that, not so much.
Answer 3 :
Not realistically on a daily basis. It's about a 30-45 minute flight between the two, not including your time getting to the airport and waiting for your flight. It might work if you didn't physically need to be in Honolulu daily, and otherwise you'd reaaaally have to get a good system down with transport and everything -- likely including something like your own limo driver. Anyway, generally speaking, no, you can't really live in Kona and pursue regular, daily work in Honolulu.

Answer 1 :
Go snorkeling in Hanauma Bay. It's usually crowded with tourists, but it's still a great beach with tons of tropical fish! You won't get disappointed:)
Answer 2 :
Go hiking at Diamond Head, jet ski on North shore, shark watching north shore, parasailing,surfing, there is so much to do on Oahu that you and your friend will have fun
Answer 3 :
Day 1- – Grab some sandwiches, fruits and drinks at any ABC Store. Buy a map of Honolulu NOT Hawaii. – Head out to Diamond Head and drive and hike to the top. On a clear day, breathtaking panoramic view at the top! -Head out to Highway 1 and go to Byodo Temple: enjoy the tranquil gardens, feed the koi, make an offering to Buddah, pray to Buddah for a possible romantic encounter later in the evening… -Leave for Haunauma Bay, go snorkeling, say hello to fish, work on tan, take pictures. -Leave Haunauma Bay, getting crowded with tourists, tan’s looking good anyway and stomach is getting hungry -Lunch at O’no Hawaiian Foods on 726 Kapahulu Avenue. Local hole-in-the-wall but good eats. Local favorite (pigeon English spoken hea). Waitresses are over 60 but tell them they don’t look a day over 40, or else they’ll step on your toes. The cook is even older. Walls are covered with autographed pictures of every celebrity who’se eaten here. From Hollywood stars, entertainers, sports legends and even a former president of U.S. -Check out the International Marketplace but do not eat at their food court - there's no telling how long the food has been sitting in the trays! If you happen to see something you like, barter the price down, or else you just got ripped off (betcha you knew that already). If the International Marketplace isn’t your venue, go across the street to the more elaborate and plush Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center. (As an alternative: The Ilikai Hotel, further up on the corner of Ala Moana and Hobron offers a free almost-2 hour live music & hula show by their pool every Fri and Sat evening.) -Walk along Waikiki Beach, park your okole on a table at Duke’s and just order a cocktail and salad. That way you can tell all your friends that you ate at Duke’s on Waikiki Beach. (don’t order dinner – too expensive for too little). Day 2 - -Pearl Harbor USS Arizona, it’s free but it's first come first serve so get there early. See where WWII started. Afterward see where WWII ended on USS Missouri (not free). -Head north to Dole Pineapple plantation. Nice place to visit but don’t hang out here too long. If you do, everything starts looking like a pineapple... including your friends! -Continue north to Haleiwa – good old fashion surfing town and nice local shops. Look for someplace to eat. - by 1:00 PM: Head towards Polynesian Cultural Center and check out the beaches on your left as you drive... no...better yet, just keep your eyes on the road! (If today is Sunday, you’re out of luck... the Center is closed!) Stay for their dinner and evening luau/show. NOTE: Polynesian Cultural Center is pricey but worth the price; very culturally authentic and culturally correct (no neon colored nylon grass skirts here). Better to reserve tickets a day or two before. Me ka `oia`i`o, Kalani
Answer 4 :
Rent a car, get a map from the car rental place, get a spiro cooler and pack a lunch and some soft drinks, and drive to the Arizona Memorial. Its free but tours book up early and it may take you 3 or 4 hours to get through, parking is free also. Then drive up Highway 99 toward the other side of the island. Stop at the Dole Pineapple plantation for a tour. Continue on to the other side of the island, pick up route 83 toward Waimea, and stop at one of the deserted beaches for lunch. Continue on 83 and you will come to the Polynesian cultural center. It has day and evening shows so if you get there by about 3:00PM you are not too late for the dinner show. Continue on 83 until yoiu get to route 63 or 61 which will bring you back to Honolulu.
