If you've never been a bartender before and have little to no experience, I would suggest you hit a bartending school before you get here so you have some experience.

As far as getting a job once you get here, there are many restaurants that are looking for bartenders and you shouldn't have a problem finding a job.

Check out the classified section of the Honolulu Advertiser for job listings.

While you're there, I would suggest you check out the housing listings also so that you'll have an idea of how much money you'll be expecting to pay for housing with your bartending salary.

Good luck!

Dude, If you are white and wanting to be employed in Hawaii as a bartender, forget it. They don't like "your" type there. Try working at Costco or something like that.
