FAQs

How do I find out about job vacancies with RCUH?

Job seekers can find out about current job vacancies through our on-line database, e-recruit (go to Employment and click on Current Job Vacancies) or stop by our Human Resources office at the University of Hawaii, Manoa, Sakamaki Hall, Room D-100. E-recruit is updated daily and includes a listing of all web-recruited job vacancies.

Announcements are also listed at the WorkLinks offices, Alu Like, Division of Vocational Rehabilitation, Work Hawaii, Network Enterprises, Job Help Store, Joint Employment Services (Pearl Harbor), and various RCUH project sites.

Selected job announcements are listed with various local, national & international publications. The local publications most often used are the Sunday publications of the Honolulu Advertiser, Hawaii Tribune Herald (Hilo), West Hawaii Today (Kona) and the Maui News.

How do I apply?

You can apply on-line by going to Current Job Vacancies and apply for current job vacancies, attaching your resume, cover letter and other required documents (see application requirements below) or by completing the on-line application. You can apply for multiple vacancies in one submission.
