A company run by a dictatorial CEO where employees in their 30s and 40s make up a small percentage of the workforce—the reason being there are no mid-level managers 🟰—is highly likely to be an exploitative workplace.

When you apply for a job, I think you should state your desired hourly wage.

Once, when I was assigned to a tour desk, I stated my desired hourly wage, and they agreed to it. Since the hourly wage at the time was $ 15, I asked for more than that.

In that case, my request was granted.

If they refuse to negotiate your hourly wage and simply offer the minimum wage, I think that’s a exploitative company.

I think the only person making money at a restaurant is the owner.

At hotels—especially large, popular ones where the restaurant menus are pricey—they attract a decent number of customers, so

I think the hourly wage and tips aren’t bad either.

Instead of posting here where everyone can see it, I think you should use a message board where replies are sent only to the original poster.

Outside of Oahu is not a problem.
What kind of jobs do you find in Hawaii other than tourism and catering ？
I work in IT, but I wonder if it is difficult to find a job other than tourism or catering if I live in Hawaii ？

If the above is possible, what level of English would be sufficient? If the above is possible, I would also appreciate it if you could tell me what level of English is sufficient for the job.

I'm sure there are lots of IT jobs out there.

My husband was also in IT networking, but he worked for
a university
a copier company
an airline
etc.

Many other hospitals, banks, etc. are also hiring.
If you go to indeed hawaii's jobs page and search for IT, you will see a lot of openings.

If you look at the job search page, you'll find all kinds of jobs.
If you have a workable visa, you can find any number of jobs. If you need visa support, you can often end up in tourism or food and beverage,,

I have not yet obtained US citizenship." ＝ Have you obtained a GC ？
Sorry to be realistic, but if you live in Japan and assume visa support, it is quite difficult to do anything other than work requiring Japanese language skills. There are quite a few Americans who are qualified to work in IT. Not only Hawaii residents, but even mainland US residents are attracted to IT jobs in Hawaii and apply for them. It is better to take people from the mainland who want to move to Hawaii with a good command of English than to provide visa support and have them move from Japan.

Conversely, jobs that make use of Japanese ＝ tourism ・ food and beverage, the income is often quite low, and if you emigrate from Japan relying only on Japanese, you will have a very difficult life.

I have completed my J1 training and am now back in Japan and looking for a company that can support my E2VISA from Japan.
My question is, are there any requirements in terms of age and work experience to switch from J1 VISA to E2 VISA? ？
For J1 VISA, 5 years of experience in food and beverage including part-time job as a student was required.
I myself had no problem because I had more than 5 years of restaurant experience, but I have heard that there are some people who have less restaurant experience who have changed their career history to 5 years.
I wonder if it is possible to renew my E2VISA with more than 5 years of experience in food and beverage ？
I would like to know if there is anyone who is familiar with E2VISA support and is currently working with E2VISA ！ Thank you very much. Please ！

There is no age requirement, but it is difficult if you are too young. This is because the qualities of being able to manage in the same position as a manager are questioned.
If you have several years of experience as a restaurant manager or the like, I think you will be safe.

Japalace can afford to give you E2
even if you don't want it
and the owners of Japalace in Hawaii
are seriously short of staff
and want you to come tomorrow to be honest, I'd like you to come tomorrow but the benefits and hours are not that great.

There are a lot of 22 and 23 year olds in management positions at all workplaces
However, the treatment and hours are not as good … Hey … You get the picture ？
We let them live in Hawaii so they have to sign slave contracts. I know, right?
Yeah, I know, I know, I know, I know.

It's up to you to climb out of it ！
I wish you the best of luck.

Bake-san

Have you ever worked in a bakery ？

It would be nice if you could start out in baking, but even if not

there are many things you can learn if you work in a bakery.

I think there is a lot you can gain by working your way down, like a sushi chef or a chef.

Good luck.

I've looked at jobs at Nikkei bakeries, but none of them are looking for people with no experience, but if I wanted to start as a cashier and learn to bake for the first time, I might have a chance ！

I read that the minimum hourly wage is now $14.00 and the tip rate in restaurants has been increased, requiring that a minimum of $21.00 per hour be paid by the employer plus tips.
Is this applicable to kitchen staff and not servers ？
Is the employer responsible for any missing tips ？?

If a company uses the tip credit （ system ） which allows tipped employees to be paid an hourly rate lower than the normal minimum wage, the system requires that the employee be paid at least ＄ 21 per hour, so if the company pays the minimum wage $ 14, then would not add anything.

Make sure you understand the laws of the State of Hawaii, and
if you think they are wrong, show them to your employer and sue them.

https://labor.hawaii.gov/wsd/minimum-wage/

https://labor.hawaii.gov/wsd/files/2022/06/Tip_Credit_Notice_ with_exhibits_June2022.pdf


If you still don't like the black company, you can
https://www.eeoc.gov/

fill out this form to sue them for free and even suspend their business. If you are still not satisfied, you can sue the company for free.

This is the case for "Minimum Wage Calculation Table [When Using Tip Credit]" as shown in the PDF that Mr. Justice Wins is sending me.
I am an employer using Tip Credit.
If you are a kitchen staff member and you are paid $14 per hour, the employer does not have to pay you any more.
Overtime must be paid at 1.5 times the hourly rate.
