All together now: ʻaʻako aku i ka hana!

There are many words for “work” in the Hawaiian language. “Hana” is the general term. “Hana lima” means to work with one’s hands. “Hana hihiu” is rare or unusual work. “Hoʻolaulima” means to work together. “Hana lohi” means to work slowly, while “hana ʻoʻoleʻa” is hard work. “ʻAʻako aku i ka hana” implores you to get going with the work. And “huli hana” means to look forThiswork.special Apply Within jobs issue—powered by MauiTimes—is dedicated to helping our readers with that last one. As we emerge from the pandemic and prepare for the arrival of tourist season, the island is covered with “help wanted” signs.

Everyone has to work to live (well, most of us anyway). But if you find the right job, you can also live to work (well, sometimes anyway).

Work can be fulfilling and rewarding; it can provide a sense of pride and purpose. Mostly, though, let’s be real: it keeps money in the bank, gas in the tank, and food in the fridge.

Welcome to Apply Within

In these pages, we’ll highlight online resources that can connect you with the job you want, including a new state portal with an algorithm that makes it smarter as you search. We’ll show you how (and how not) to build a mod ern resumé. We’ll parse the realities of gig-economy side hustles and reveal the best-paying jobs for people of all education levels, from non-high school grads to folks with graduate degrees. And we’ll crunch some numbers on un employment, remote work, Maui’s most popular jobs, and more.

If you’re looking for work, you can find it. If you’re tired of your current position and want a new one, or are seeking a second or even third job, there are plenty of options to suit every experience level, interest, and skill set. Maui is hiring.

e’re often told that a good resumé is the key to landing a job interview. But if you haven’t been through the process lately, be aware that the rules of job hunting have changed over the past few years, and if you don’t get up to speed, your key may not fit the lock.

If you want to work at Cupie’s Drive-in, your uncle’s coffee shop, a food truck, or the corner store, you might not need a resumé at all. But if you’re applying at one of the hotel resorts or any other large company that relies on an HR de partment or a recruiter to screen applicants, pay attention because the rules are different now. Gone are the days when you could just add the latest job you’ve held to the top of the resumé you started 20 years ago.

Under the job title, location, and dates held, use bullet points to list six to eight skills or achievements that you accrued, leaving out per sonal pronouns (ie., “Surpassed

coursework, research, or graduate studies. If you graduated decades ago, it’s OK to leave off the year, so it won’t reveal your age.

If you’re applying online, you may also want to include links to your LinkedIn profile (GitHub or StackOverflow for software develop ers) and your own website or blog, if you have one. According to re search by ResumeGo.net, including a LinkedIn profile link can give you a 71 percent higher chance of get ting an interview. Leave off social media, unless you’re an influencer in the field you’re applying to.

In the past, the objective was where you talked about what po sition you were applying for and how much you wanted to work for company X. But today, it’s assumed that you want the job that you’re applying for, so it’s better to write a brief statement that tells how your experience and skill set makes you the ideal candidate for said position. Do not include a photo because in the U.S. employers ar en’t allowed to ask an applicant’s age, and including a photo could expose the company that’s hiring to charges of discrimination.

Under the heading “Education,” list your college degree(s) and year earned, if you have any. List your high school’s name and graduation date (or GED) if you don’t have a degree. (Leave high school off if you do.) If it’s relevant to your goal, you may also want to include your major, your GPA (if over 3.5), plus any academic honors, related

This is also where you can include any certificates, licenses, awards, professional organizations, special ized training, software mastery, or language skills (specifying compe tency level). And don’t claim you’re fluent if you’re barely conversation al. The interviewer may test you. Personal interests and hobbies can be included here, too, but stick to activities relevant to the position.

Include your name and contact information at the top (first and last name, phone number, and email address—snail mail address optional, but do include city and state), fol lowed by the job title you’re applying for (as if you’ve already been hired) and a brief objective or statement.

Under the heading “Work Ex perience,” begin listing past jobs that are relevant to the one you’re applying for. It’s okay to skip over jobs that don’t relate to the one you want, unless it leaves a glaring, un explained gap in employment.

Now, back to those keywords— and this is critical—they’re very easy to find. Just read the job de scription for the position you want to apply for. That’s where the ATS gets its keyword search orders from, so they’re all there! Just print out a copy of the job description and highlight the job title and all the skills required for the position. Better yet, use a free online wordcloud generator to find them for you. There should be 40-45 fairly obvious keywords. Then go back over your resumé and find places where you can insert or substitute

To include that .txt file in the body of an email, open it up in MS Word, select all the text and change the font to 12 point Courier (a fixed-width font). Open the “page layout” menu, click on “margins” and choose “custom margins.” When the “page setup” dialog box opens, change the left margin to one inch and the right margin to 1.75 inches. Save the docu ment again as “plain text.”

If you miss the old days of pick ing out fancy resumé paper and seeing it in print, don’t worry. It’s always a good idea to bring a copy or two to the interview. Here’s your chance to get a little bit cre ative. But before you start select ing paper stock and fancy fonts, you might want to spruce up your LinkedIn profile a bit, making sure that it’s current and relates to the job opening. And while you’re at it, you should probably delete that awful comment you made on social media last week and those drunken party pics you posted on Instagram. It’s also a good idea to have a current, profession al-sounding email address, rather than surfstoned@aol.com.

Give it a respectable file name, ideally your first and last name, dash, re sumé. Some companies, however, require you to post your resumé to a job board, or prefer that the re sumé text be contained in the body of the email, rather than as an at tachment, for security reasons.

Likewise, use standard head ings, like “Work Experience,” rather than “Skills and Accom plishments,” and leave out charts, graphs, or formatting that might confuse the ATS.

The first paragraph is a brief opening, introducing yourself, your career, a few key achievements, and your objective—the job. In the second paragraph, tell how your experience has prepared you for the position and what valuable skills and expertise you bring with you—perhaps even some that weren’t included on your resumé.

Lastly, summarize your skills and reiterate your objective, ending on a positive note with a call to action (ie., “Please call me to discuss this opportunity,” or “If you’re interested in meeting with me, I’d love to chat.”). It’s not a bad idea to let them know your availability and the best time to reach you, as well.

A Word About Cover Letters

If the resumé is the ticket to a job interview, the cover letter may be the ticket to getting your resumé read. Keep it short, to the point, and focused on your objective. While this is a chance to reveal a bit of personality and share something about yourself aside from your skill set, you’re not writing an autobiography. Use the same format and font (preferably not Comic Sans) that you used on your resumé, for consistency. But if you’re delivering hard copies, don’t fold them or staple them together. A large manila envelope is likely to get more attention than a standard-size one with a resumé folded up inside.

Again, your contact information goes up top. Then the date, followed by the hiring manager’s (or company) name and address, and a salutation (ie., “Dear Ms. Finch,” “Human Resources Dept.,” or “To Whom it May Concern”).

n June, state officials unveiled the Hawaiʻi Career Accel eration Navigator. Gov. David Ige touted it as “a first-ofits-kind data platform to connect job seekers to careers in our post-pandemic economy.”

In an era when government often seems like a source of in transigence rather than solutions, this is an actual leap forward.

From there, you select from career paths, specific job open ings, and training opportunities, and give a thumbs-up or thumbs down to various options to make the algorithm smart er and more specific.

State creates web-based solution for job seekers…and it actually works!

“We are unlocking state data and technology to match and develop worker skills to meet industry needs,” said state De partment of Labor and Industrial Relations Director Anne Per reira-Eustaquio. “At the same time, eligible users can get help without sifting through dozens of government links that can lead to confusion and frustration. COVID has been hard, so we are centralizing services and putting people’s data to work to make bouncing back from it easier.”

The Hawai‘i Career Acceleration Navigator: A Portal to Work

Sounds good, but how does it work? Pretty well, actually.

First off, it’s more than a list of posted jobs. You’re required to enter your legal name, date of birth, and Social Security number. After that, you post your resumé or enter your infor mation manually, including education, field(s) of interest, and recent work experience.

Then, the portal—which utilizes state data and cloud tech nology from Amazon and Geographic Solutions—sifts through the employment stew to find the open positions you’re best-suited for.

You can also specify your goals: boosting income, exploring in-demand careers, or utilizing your top skills.

How the gig economy helps local folks make ends meet

Side Hustles

later, the two women, both named Samantha, read the poem out loud with broad smiles on their faces.

ill Keys sits on a street corner in Paʻia behind a tiny desk upon which sits a crumbling old Smith-Corona type writer. A sign hung on the front of the desk reads, “Poems about anyone or anything.” It’s early eve ning and visitors to the artsy beach town are milling about, waiting for tables and peering through shop windows. Keys smiles as they pass by, and occasionally some folks stop and inquire about his ser vices. A mere $20 will buy you an entirely original work of poetry on the topic of your choice, created on the spot.

into. Coconuts are cheap (or free) and easy to come by. Those on pub lic land can typically be harvested for free because falling coconuts are a liability to the county, but ask first. Some landowners will actual ly pay you to take them. You’ll need a coconut tree climbing device that won’t scar the trunks. And you need to know what stage they are in. Tourists want young coconuts with lots of fresh coconut water and a little bit of soft meat and they’ll pay about $10 apiece. Part of the experience is watching the ven dor risk losing fingers hacking the nut open with a machete, so first, hone your skills.

pects to return to one day, but for now he’s content to call the beach home. Meanwhile, he’s earning a living as a retail poet—and with out actually publishing anything. Quite a feat, really.

As home rental rates climb ever higher and essentials like gaso line and groceries fetch record prices in Maui County, even folks with full-time jobs often have to rely on extra income from side gigs to make ends meet. Some fill obvious needs, like gardening, house cleaning, or dog walking. Others rely on the growing array of smartphone apps that provide access to the gig economy. Let’s look at some ways to make an ex tra buck on the side.

Perhaps Hawaiʻi’s first side gig, hacking open coconuts for visitors might be the easiest one to break

It seems like this must be a side hustle, but Keys insists that— while it may have started that way—street poetry is now his pri mary source of income. When the conversation turns to the cost of living in Hawaiʻi, the native New Yorker explains that he keeps his expenses down by living in a van, but one that has refrigeration, so he can prepare his own meals. He has a place in New York he ex

Auto detailing is tedious work, but can make a big difference in how much a used car is worth, or how well passengers review their Turo rental or Uber ride. Users of the Turo app are constantly picking up, cleaning out, and de livering cars. Some would surely appreciate some help from time to time. So, if you don’t mind dig ging out moldy French fries from beneath car seats and scrubbing gum out of carpet with a tooth brush, polishing up other people’s rides can be a lucrative sideline. The investment is small—just a strong shop vacuum and a few cleaning supplies.

needs dings repaired. Most are content to slap a little Solarez on the rails, but if you’ve spent a thousand bucks or more on a nice, clean board, you want to keep it that way. So people with the skill and workspace necessary can find work fixing boards all winter long. You’ll need a clean, well-ventilat ed, indoor space to mix and apply fiberglass or epoxy resin, gloves, and a respirator for sanding.

Lei making for weddings, events While it may lead to accusations of cultural appropriation, lei-mak ing in Hawaiʻi is big business, and those with the skills to create traditional leis from plumeria blossoms, ti leaves, ferns, or aʻaliʻi seeds can earn a nice chunk of cash supplying just one wedding or graduation ceremony. Materials are essentially free, if you know where to collect them. In addition to those worn around the neck, there are haka leis, worn like a crown, kupeʻe, worn on wrists or ankles, and even money leis, made from folded dollar bills.

Auntie’s recipe for banana bread might just cover the electric bill. Under Hawaiʻi’s cottage food law, it is legal to sell home-baked goods at farmers’ markets or on the road side, however the transactions must take place in person.

Here’s a need so obvious and so universal that several developers have come up with competing apps. There are more than a dozen with similar features, but the top two in terms of number of users are Rover and Wag! All of them include secure payments and some offer insurance, training, certification, or other perks. Dog owners like the apps because they can track their pets’ location and activity. Walkers must pass a crim inal background check and share the fees with the app. A half-hour walk generally costs $15-20.

But she’s also conscious of the risk, especially to women drivers.

As the pandemic began to wind down and tourism picked back up, people made money handover-fist by renting out used cars when the big rental agencies got caught without enough vehicles in stock. Access to customers and insurance coverage are two major advantages of renting through

“Be safe and be mindful of your own mindset, your behavior and your attitude,” she said. “We at tract what we’re projecting…so if you’re positive and have a good attitude, you can be put in some pretty interesting situations—even wonderful situations.”

Renting out cars with Turo

These apps were among the first to disrupt the traditional marketplace, putting so much pressure on the taxi industry that some municipalities moved to ban app-based car services. Success ful drivers suggest trying for long rides, like from the airport to the resort areas. Paying attention to flight schedules and working peak hours is a smart strategy. Always ask for a good review. Uber re quires cars to be four-door mod els, less than 15 years old, and in good condition. Drivers must be licensed and have at least one year experience behind the wheel (3 years if under 25).

slick, independently-operated dog walking and mobile pet care start up. Samantha Navarro thought the apps were too impersonal, so she started her own website with the intention of providing comfort for both the dogs and their owners. She arrived three years ago from San Diego, barely 20 years old, with just two suitcases in hand. “Maui has always provided for me and really given me somewhere to learn about myself,” she said. She sees this as a chance to give back to her adopted community. “I’m allowing other people to enjoy the island,” she explained, “knowing that even the smallest family mem ber is taken care of.”

She doesn’t mind sharing local wisdom and culture and playing tour guide from time to time.

“I’ve had some crazy, even hostile situations where I’ve had to turn down people trying to get into my car and actually had to call the po lice,” she said.

Her advice for novice drivers?

“They ask me a lot of questions about cultural stuff and the history of Hawaiʻi,” she explained, “things that they would never find out without talking to somebody who grew up here.”

This is especially useful for stores Like Costco that don’t offer curbside service. And you don’t have to be a Costco member to shop there using Instacart. You order online and the company provides em ployees with the membership and a company debit card to make the purchases. Each item is verified with a quick scan of the UPC code, to make sure it’s the same prod uct and size ordered.

Restaurant delivery services make it easy to order a hot meal to-go without leaving the house or office. Hopper was Maui’s first restaurant delivery service and the only one lo cally owned and operated. Shannon Delacruz works as a brand ambassa dor for Hopper, but drives for them as well, and worked previously for DoorDash and Instacart.

Delacruz said that Hopper’s local ownership allows them to build better relationships and a sense of trust with the restaurants and customers. “We have our regulars, you know, and they only see the same drivers all the time,” he said.

John DeMarsh has been renting out two cars on the app for the past couple of years. Prices have sta bilized a bit, he said. “It’s not like a ʻget rich quick’ thing, like it was last summer,” when supply was far lower than demand, he said, “but it’s more of a stable business.”

Cleaning vacation homes

This may be an obvious niche, but with the crackdown on illegal vacation rentals, it’s also a shrinking one.
