Maui Questions

Employment on Maui

Hey Everyone...long time no post. I just wanted to get some opinions and suggestions about what I should look for for work? I know that many jobs won't even consider the applicant unless they are on the island, but I wanted to see if there were any suggestions? I am planning on checking with the resorts and shops when I get out to Kihei. Any information will help out a lot. Just for futher information, I have my Bachelor's Degree in Communications with a minor in Web Technology if that helps. Thanks.

Edit: Sorry, going through my old posts I have asked this question before, I apologize for being redundant

Re: Yet another Maui question

There are only 2 hospitals on Maui: one in Hana, which would be totally out of the question for you if you plan to live in Kihei, and Maui Memorial Hospital in Wailuku, which serves the Central, Upcountry, South and West parts of Maui. The people of Maui have been lobbying for hospitals for the south end (Kihei) and the west end (Lahaina) for years and years. For a few months recently, there was hope that the State would approve a certificate of need for a private hospital to serve south Maui, but one of the 2 commissions that need to approve the CON turned the application down, and the decision from the ultimate decision maker is due any day now. The Governor and the Maui County Mayor both want another hospital, but it's up to the State to approve its building, even if it is a for profit, private hospital application.

The only other large healthcare organization on Maui is Kaiser Permanente, and you have to go to the main Kaiser Hawaii website to see what's available in the outpatient clinics. Kaiser uses Maui Memorial Hospital whenever it needs to hospitalize its patients, or it sends them to Kaiser on Oahu.

Miulang, that Maui Memorial link didn't lead to the official Maui Memorial site.

Here's the one to the MMH site:

http://www.mmmc.hhsc.org/

And the page with job openings, including salaries:

http://www.hhsc.org/recruit/Maui_Region.cfm

They pay significantly lower than similar positions on Oahu, I believe. I know the RN pay on Maui is much lower---I would think the same holds for other jobs with MMH.

Re: Yet another Maui question

Hi all, I haven't posted in a while and wanted to ask something. I've been working as Clerical support in a Hospital in New Hampshire for almost five years now. Is there anyone that works at a hospital on Maui that would be able to tell me how much this would help me when I move to the island in January?

Re: Kihei and surrounding area employment

I was just wondering if anyone who lives in or near Kihei has any clue info or advice about jobs in and around Kihei. I'm moving out from NH in January. I have a bachelor's degree in Communications if that helps. Also, I have a good amount of experience at radio stations so I was wondering if there were any readers that work or know someone who works at a radio station. Any advice would be awesome, thanks.

Here's a list of Maui radio stations. I think most are affiliates of larger networks, so they don't have much original programming. I don't know whether you were thinking of onair stuff or behind the scenes stuff. I imagine it's going to be tough for you to break in as an onair talent because you're not local. Maybe you can write to some of the stations and see if they're willing to take on an intern. Unfortunately, usually internships pay little or no money, which means you'd still have to find a way to support yourself.

Re: Kihei Questions

Aloha,

Maui's economy is dominated by the hospitality industry. Your best bet is to go online to the many hotels that have resorts in Kihei and Wailea and see if there are jobs that are in line with your experience, skills and interests.

People who work in radio on Maui don't do it to pay the bills; they do it because they love it, but the fact is many of them moonlight second jobs to make it work.

Heheheheh...I'm just waiting for the 2 big fireworks shows in about half an hour (one on Elliott Bay called the "4th of Jul-Ivars" and the other at GasWorks Park) which we will watch in the relative safety and comfort of home on TV!
