？

Sometimes you see cars for sale on Vivinavi and many are sold at ridiculous prices … Everyone should do their research and buy at a fair price.
Japanese who are ignorant about cars and newcomers to Hawaii are targeted. Be careful …

You can check out the kelley blue book to see what is a fair price and then negotiate with them.

In case of accident or theft, the insurance will cover the reasonable price on such sites. I was stolen once, and the amount guaranteed by insurance was the fair price on kbb.

When dealers trade in used cars, they often quote prices on kbb.

It is easy to check
For example, search 2015 toyota tacoma Kbb price on google. You can easily find it by changing the mileage, grade, and condition on the website that comes up.　
Also, the price varies a lot depending on whether you are getting it from a dealer or a private party. You can see that on kbb.

There are a lot of scammy prices, so please take a look as a reminder ….

Because there are people who buy it, sellers taste it and sell it at a higher price.
It would be nice if there were more smart consumers.
But it is not good for the society and the economy to have more smart consumers, so it is not said much in public. However, it is very important for individuals to be aware of it. An economy that revolves around cheating people is a bunch of crap.

Procedures and information exchange regarding Job Search can be found in this topic.

There are some uncertainties regarding Job Search that will not be known until after the weekly filing for the week ending June 5, 2021 begins. Also, there are some aspects that will not be known until we ask questions to the call center.

So instead of asking "What can I do ？ to help? ？ Is there anyone else in the same situation ？?

Please do not share information by word of mouth from colleagues or friends as this is not accurate. Also, if you are sharing a media news article, please be sure to include a link to the article.

Please help each other with "aloha" and "mahalo" in this topic.

PS:
If you write without logging in with your user ID, it will be hidden until Vivinavi approves your comment. If it is approved and displayed at a later date, other people may miss it, so we recommend that you log in before writing.

Thank you for the explanation of how it happened. I'm not sure if the UI system is designed to do that or if it's just a glitch.

"💛💛 and ★ ★ are the same question. I fear that it will be systematically misinterpreted as a filing, which will complicate things later on. You may want to contact the call center （ and especially the Examiner ） to see which employer information should be entered in which section. They may be able to delete the ★ ★ section and correct it directly.

This is a new case that we have not seen before and I am sorry that we cannot help you in the end. I will share this with the Unemployment Insurance Help Team.

Dear Sunset

Thank you for all your advice.

I was going to try the Week End 6/26 file again today and call UI if necessary.

I checked today and

💛💛EMPLOYED - YOUR NEW PARTTIME EMPLOYER

Did you work for YOUR NEW PARTTIME EMPLOYER during the week?

Did you refuse any work from YOUR NEW PARTTIME EMPLOYER? 06/26/2021?

The question has disappeared and only the places where you are currently re-employed are shown.

It may have been some kind of glitch as Sunset said.

The file is complete and hot.

I always appreciate your advice to many people on this forum.
I really appreciate your kind support.

A loco shared this with us and we will share it with this topic.

The University of Hawaii and Community Colleges are offering a short-term skills training program for the unemployed that will cover up to $2000 in tuition.

This is recommended because having skills is one of the most appealing aspects of a job search in a different industry.

The article is pasted below.

I received a letter from UI regarding a job search.

The letter states that a ZOOM MEETING appointment will be scheduled during the interviewee dates listed in the letter and a ONE ON ON ONE interview will be scheduled after that meeting.

I'm also doing the assigned job search and keeping a log, so I don't think it's a problem, but if anyone has received a similar letter, or has done that already ！, if you could give me some more details, it would put my mind I'd like to know more details so that I can calm down.

It is easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of job search activities at a time when unemployment insurance may end in September, making it difficult to make calm decisions, so we share some points to keep in mind just in case.

During the job search process, we often hear things like, "The job description was different from what I was told before I joined the company," "There was no compliance," "The company was a one-man operation," or "The salary was lower than what was written in the job description. Even if the company looks good from the outside, you cannot know the real situation until you actually join the company. The quality of the work environment is not always in proportion to the company's sales or name recognition.

Larger companies are usually safe because they are in compliance （ but companies with labor unions are even more secure ） and you should be cautious about smaller companies.

Before submitting your resume, seek out as many outsiders who know the company well and gather reviews before making a final decision. The small island of Hawaii is a small society, so if you want to find people who know the company well, you will find them.

Be especially wary of companies that have too many people quitting or being fired because they are employers that are not good at developing talent.

Indeed also has realistic evaluations of companies by former employees, which can be very helpful.

Change of address to UI (po box use)

I am a UI recipient.
I asked here about changing my address to UI because I couldn't find the answer to my question when I looked it up.
Please let me know if you know anything about this ！

I signed up for a po box when I moved in starting August 1.
*I have heard a lot about mail theft recently, so I signed up for a po box to make sure I receive my important mail.
I would like to change my address on UI online, but since there is only one address input field, I got lost below.

① Register current address
*Concern: mail from UI does not reach po box
② Register po box
*Concern: UI side may think I have no address ？

po box I would appreciate it if you could advise me how to register a change of address in case of use.
please do ！

The UI office prints the address on the UI account on the 1099 form, which is the Federal Tax and State Tax notice, and the process is to send it to the recipient.

The above process may not be accepting PO Boxes. Also, if you can only update one address in your UI account, it is possible that you are not accepting PO Boxes.

Unless there is a written advice that PO Box was OK, I suggest you to check with the call center directly.

We went through the renewal process right after the beginning of February.
Biometrics said they would contact us in 4-5 months when we had an appointment, so we kept waiting.
We finally heard from them last week and they said the end of July. It has been a long road for us.
Still 4 weeks to go until completion....
I am glad to see that the situation is improving, though I wonder if the people who applied first are being put off.

I guess the difference between applying in the same Hawaii and having biometrics with or without biometrics for a difference of a few months is the difference in the Corona Disaster. I was really relieved to know that even if I don't receive the card, the letter that will be mailed to me will be valid for 12 months.

I moved from California four years ago. It cost me less than $3,000 with Kuroneko Yamato for 50 boxes of cardboard boxes with no furniture. When I called to request an estimate, I did not get a good response, but the Japanese person who came to estimate and move me was very nice. The estimate from another major Japanese company was twice as much, $6,000.
Yamato's moving department withdrew from Hawaii, so after our belongings arrived in Hawaii, island mover company carried them. I know it is hard to move across the ocean, but good luck.

Regarding popcorn sealing

I was thinking of moving and looking at condo listings in central Waikiki.

When I came to Hawaii, I didn't know about it and lived there, but
along the way, a friend told me about it and informed me of the dangers of popcorn sealing.
They said it was a ceiling treatment that contained asbestos, and that if you touched it in any way, or on a dry day, the powder would fly around and if you inhaled it, you would get lung cancer.

The room we looked at this time had a popcorn ceiling, but
the owner was trying to rent it without explaining that at all, so we are not going to rent it.

Many of the condos in Waikiki have popcorn ceilings, so if you are going to rent a condo, I would recommend that you find a place with a clean ceiling and sign a contract to avoid health hazards.

It's true that asbestos drifts
through the air in invisible fine powder, so before you know it, it's drifting through the air from the ceiling
and making the floor rough.

Families with children should
definitely not have a popcorn ceiling.

Or you should tell your landlord and ask him to remove the popcorn ceiling.

＃ 14 Salt Damaged Steel Frame

I am also very concerned.

The collapsed condo in Florida seems to have used materials and cost savings in cutting corners.

Condos over 40 years old are a concern.

The fact that the land was swampy probably had an impact.

I have heard that in Honolulu, the land in Waikiki and Kakaako is reclaimed land, but I wonder if it is safe ？

Real estate will make it harder to sell older condos.

There was a time in the 1970s when Japanese general contractors were rushing to Hawaii.
At that time, condos in Waikiki managed by Japanese companies had well-constructed piles and foundations
and the columns were well calculated structurally, so there were no problems.
Condos built by an American construction company have strength problems.

The percentage of popcorn ceilings containing asbestos ranges from 1% to 10%.
I used to work for a law firm specializing in asbestos litigation.
However, the lung cancer rate is high only for long-term exposures, especially for smokers, who are five to ten times more likely to develop lung cancer than nonsmokers.
Unless you break a ceiling, the amount of asbestos in the air will be next to none.
The chance of getting lung cancer after a few EXPOSURE of asbestos is close to zero.
Vigilance is of course necessary, but there is no need to be more vigilant than necessary.

I think it totally depends on the size, roofing materials, etc.
Most places will give you an estimate for free, so I think it's best to get
estimates from a few companies to be sure.
You can also read reviews on Yelp and other websites
so I think that would also be a good reference.
