There in another mindset from many employers is they could care less where you from as long as you are a reliable, good worker. My father moved to Hawaii to work construction in the late 80s, early 90s and they loved him. Why? Cause he showed up to work every day!!! LOL

Very true. If a haole is a good genuine person and locals get to know these people, they are treated like family. But, it's hard for a local to learn the true person and if they have a strong work ethic in a simple interview. It can be very tough for a haole to get a job. But once they do get a job and if they do it well showing respect, you are set and can live like a local. I have many haole friends that have lived there a long time... wish I would be one of them!
