Job Fair Introduction]

We have received some information about the Job Fair. The Honolulu Star Advertiser's Job Fair is a great opportunity for those who are looking for jobs in other industries and are looking for companies that offer generous benefits such as health insurance.

They have an online interview process with HR and recruiters from each company. Many large companies are participating, so it's not a bad idea to take a peek at what kind of Job Fair it is.

Most of the above job fairs are for permanent positions and English is a prerequisite.

Also, with the return of Mainland tourists, the number of jobs in the hotel industry is increasing, so it would be a good idea to check the job listings of each hotel.

Applications are likely to become more intense each day as September approaches, when unemployment insurance benefits are likely to be lower. We recommend that you research company information thoroughly before applying for any job openings you are interested in.

The Unemployment Insurance Help Team reports that Governor Ige and UI Director Anne met today to discuss future unemployment insurance rules.

Governor Ige and Anne are in agreement about withdrawing the job search exemption, but Anne is concerned about the impact on families who have had to lose their jobs because they have children learning online due to school closures, and that situation is still ongoing.

She says there will likely be an official announcement soon, so please check back daily for a press release from Governor Ige or the UI office.

If you are the first to find the press release, please share it with others in this Topic, along with the link.

The Unemployment Insurance Help Team's strongest concern about the withdrawal of the job search waiver is that it would be a development in which the employer side would have overwhelming power. I am equally concerned and feel that there will be more problems related to employment.

The UI Office has been encouraging companies for the past year to report those who have turned down offer letters or refused to show up for work.

Please only apply to companies you really want to work for. If you randomly apply for a job without much interest and reject the offer letter without reason, you will lose all unemployment insurance eligibility if the employer reports to the UI office that you rejected the offer letter. Please read the rules in the handbook for more information.

Some employers may be unscrupulous enough to offer a lower offer letter than the one in the job posting. If you reject the offer letter because you are not satisfied with the terms in the offer letter and the employer reports the rejection of the offer letter to the UI office, it is unfair to you. To avoid getting involved with some of these employers, we recommend that you keep the following in evidence.
↓
● Print out the terms and conditions in the job posting
● Record the full name and position of the interviewer
● Record audio data during interviews and phone calls
● Save offer letters and emails

The above are The above can be an important source of persuasion for later submission to the UI office to regain eligibility for unemployment insurance. Also, with this evidence, the Legal Aid Society of Hawaii, which has pro bono attorneys, can assist you in reporting bad employers to the Department of Labor.

This is America.
Protect yourself.

We have just received the official announcement from the Governor of Ige State and will post the link.

It seems that those who have been completely laid off will be covered from May 30. Based on the official announcement, it is likely that this includes those who have been fully laid off and are now working part time for another company.

It appears that those who will continue to be exempt from job search will be those who have been temporarily laid off, have a shorter hours, or are PUAs.

Although this appears to be a sudden official announcement, Governor Ige had previously stated at a press conference that he intends to withdraw the exemption from job search activities in the near future.

From what he has said at the press conference so far, we believe that Governor Ige, who has been focusing on tourism for the Japanese since before Corona, has been waiting for the return of Japanese tourists for a long time. However, with the vaccine situation in Japan not improving, and the growing shortage of human resources at various companies in Hawaii, I feel that he has made a difficult decision this time.

[Joint Press Conference]

The Unemployment Insurance Help Team has summarized the contents of yesterday's joint press conference between Governor Ige and UI Director Anne, and we excerpt the important parts （ ① through ⑦ ）.

① Job Search report submissions will begin with weekly filings ending June 5

② The rule for submitting Job Search reports in weekly filings is that if you submit the same report in the following week that you submitted in the previous week, you will be required to submit the same report in the following week.

③ Only those who are totally unemployed （ Laidoff ） are eligible for Job Search. Those who are Temporary Layoff （ Furlough ）, Short-Term （ Partial Claims ）, or in a union with job placement services are not eligible for Job Search

As stated in Governor Ige's official announcement letter, it appears that the condition for Job Search exemption is that you are enrolled in a job where you once worked as a full time employee. In other words, those who are working part-time （ Part-total Claims ） after being totally unemployed from their full-time jobs or who were totally unemployed part-time due to the Corona impact are likely to be eligible for Job Search.

④ Job Search includes "registering on Hirenet", "researching jobs", "submitting a resume", and "getting an interview"
↑
sunset comment:
In short. I think the nuance is that if you are able to complete and submit the three job search activities through the above steps, you are OK. The information provided by those who wrote in #227 and #228 of this topic is also very helpful. Also, it is very likely that the UI office will check whether you are registered with Hirenet or not, so please register immediately.

⑤ Failure to show up for an interview with a company will disqualify you from unemployment insurance, and the UI Office will use the Job Search reports submitted by unemployment insurance recipients to investigate each company
↑
sunset Comment:
According to the Unemployment Insurance Help Team, there used to be a number of unemployment insurance recipients who would engage in this type of intentional behavior. The UI office is following up on the labor report impersonation illegal activity, and will be following up on this one as well, so be sure to go to the interview if you are called for one.

⑥ New website hawaiiunemploymentinfo will be updated with information for employers and unemployment insurers

⑦ "RESEA" and "Quality Control" as part of Job Search requirements Assessment" are also included

The process is for those called by the UI office to respond. For more information, please read #965 for RESEA and #789 for Quality Control Assessment in the "PEUC Unemployment Insurance 13 Week Extension Program" Topic.


In the end, it is not easy to submit a Job Search Report in Hawaii, a small island with an overwhelming number of jobs in English-speaking countries.

However, hotels, bus companies, and tour companies that are reopening to mainland tourists must be looking ahead to the eventual return of Japanese tourists. Even if at first glance, the job does not recruit Japanese staff, if you can show that you can speak Japanese, you may be able to catch their attention among the resumes of English-speaking applicants who are pouring in.

Some employers abuse their authority, so please read #216 in this topic carefully and be careful not to get involved.

If you are not confident about submitting this Job Search report, we strongly recommend that you do not worry about it alone, but share information with your fellow former colleagues and help each other.

Those who have been temporarily laid off or had their hours shortened may not be alone. The longer the Corona problem in Japan drags on, the more likely it is that employers who are having difficulty maintaining operations in Hawaii will further reduce labor costs or go bankrupt. With this in mind, we recommend that you keep an eye on the new rules that the UI office is putting in place, as we have seen in this case.

If we see a Job Fair that we recommend, we will post it in this topic. Please try to help each other by sharing information if you have any.
