As 2021 comes to a close, your New Year’s resolution may be “to find a dream job.” 2022 is your year and the Maui County Virtual Job Fair site can help make your dream a reality. Follow the steps and see what happens!
- Create My Profile
First things first, sign in to the site. Next, create a profile by following the steps provided. Please upload a photo of yourself or one that coincides to the field you are looking to work in. This helps employers get a feeling for who you are and will increase your chances of getting contacted.
You can search by job type (full-time/part-time/temporary) or by sector. Filter out the jobs you definitely aren’t interested in and “like” the ones you want to explore further by clicking on the heart icon.
Click on the logo of specific employers you find interesting. Once you’re on their page, click follow. Anytime a job is posted by this employer, you will receive a notification and can apply as soon as possible.
- Self Assessment
Are you unsure of what jobs you may be good at? Have you been through additional training or classes recently and looking for new opportunities? Are you wondering what job would be the best for your personality type? The RIASEC self-assessment test is a free resource to help you hone in on your strengths. As a result of knowing your codes, you can match yourself with job postings that have the same codes. Take the assessment here.
- Resume Advice
Does your resume need some sprucing up? Focus on your skills and use strong action words. This will get the attention of a future employer. Advice on what language to use in your resume can be found here.
- Salary Expectations
The “My Next Move” assessment has a page where you can search through career options and find out what salaries are realistic in the fields you’re interested in. Knowing the salary ranges for different fields will help you determine the long-term benefits of a new career and if it’s something that will work with your current financial situation.
