HONOLULU (KHON2) — More than 100 employers took over the Neal S. Blaisdell Exhibition Hall on Wednesday, April 30, for the Star Advertiser’s Career Expo 2025.
It’s all part of an effort to help aspiring workers with a variety of companies and departments, including those at the City and State levels.
The City and County of Honolulu had 14 departments in attendance to help meet one of Mayor Rick Blangiardi’s top priorities — recruiting and hiring.
Officials said they are still on the lookout for federal employees, especially with all the uncertainty coming from Washington, D.C.
Potential employees got to choose from a selection of various positions, with some companies even prepared to hire on the spot.
“We [had] careers that those who are finishing college want to come down and check out what’s available. We [had] summer jobs available as well,” explained Denis Ching, Star Advertiser Director of Operations and Advertising.
