Hi Group:<br />
<br />
Yesterday, I learned that my company may be looking for three positions to fill within the next 30 days. I am the regional manager and will have some input, but I am not the hiring manager. We will be looking for a Project Manager, Data Analyst, and a Maximo implementation professional. If you have one or all of these skills drop me a resume. The position is Honolulu based. I might add the background check is extensive...<br />

I rate job ads on Monster and especially on CraigsList with low credibility. There's at least one company in Hawaii that continues to "troll" on CraigsList - posting bogus ads, asking for your resume, portfolio, and hourly rate. I can only assume they do this to gauge the local market to adjust their own rates accordingly.<br />

I rate job ads on Monster and especially on CraigsList with low credibility.

I can only assume they do this to gauge the local market to adjust their own rates accordingly.<br />
<br />
The best way to get gigs -- especially the lucrative or long-term ones -- is to either network, or publish something interesting, unique, and in-depth. For example, I have 5-year-old articles on my <a href="http://legacy.not404.com">Not404 Legacy</a> website, that still generate viable work offers in the Embedded Systems space. And that's just "play" stuff I published while toying with old Xboxes, cameras, and Linksys routers. My "serious" stuff website generates similar interest, in the technologies I have continued interest in.<br />
<br />
I wouldn't say that the pool of talent in Hawaii is small. Many talented professionals (myself included) just maintain a stealth profile.<br />
<br />
Furthermore, employers looking for "Top-Tier Quality" know they'll never find that through an Ad, but they may find them through a Headhunter. And trust me, those Headhunters are darn good at Googling for relevant articles to create their short-list of candidates, and they're known to offer top-dollar salaries, relocation packages, signing bonuses, and other sweeteners.<br />
<br />
You just need to impress the right people, with the right amount of technical depth.<br />

Cold-Calling and Job Websites are only good for entry-level positions or gigs. They're good for starters, but not likely to turn into life-long careers. Hi Nelson.
