Sports writer and desk jobs - The Maui News, Hawaii

Sounds like pretty interesting opportunities. Best of luck to those that land the gigs.

 

Excellent point. I was there a few years ago and was so tempted to hand them my resume.

 

If you get called for a second interview, do they fly you out on their own dime or do you need to swim?

 

I realize that was your attempt at a joke, but there are no in-person interviews, I don't think.

 

Thanks for your recognition of "humor" and the answer.

 

Yes there are reduced green fees for locals..Anybody want to hazard a guess how many apps Mr. Sherman gets? 100? 200?

 

Last time a sports opening in Hawaii got a wide advertisement, I believe the final total was somewhere around 200.

 

i was curious about the circulation....surprised to find out its just a 20k.

 

There's only about 130,000 people on the island. It's more rural than people think, and I don't recall seeing copies of the News on any other islands.

Kahului, the biggest city on the island, has about 20,000 people, and Wailuku is right around 13,000.

 

:-\ Major stopping point, dammit.

Anybody's who's really interested and can handle the moving expense should read this page, too:

Let me nip this in the bud. If you're white, don't bother trying to speak pidgin.

It's in your best interest.
