Looking for work

One of the drawbacks to self-employment as a contract researcher from home is that you don't get out to expand your business network very much. When your previous employment over the past 16 years was in a construction trailer in Mililani and in the undisclosed location that is the computer room at the Ilikai Hotel, that network wasn't very large to start with. When thinking about looking for full-time employment again, then, I began wondering how to re-connect with people in the Hawai'i business community. I'm on LinkedIn and Facebook, but those two networks are more national than local in scope.

Then it struck me: I have a blog!

So. Any Hawai'i readers who might know about job opportunities for somebody who's been a computer systems manager, an accountant/bookkeeper, a staff researcher and writer, and a blogger for over seven years, please let me know in the comments or via e-mail. I'm proficient with Excel, Word, the Open Office suite, Quicken and Quickbooks; I've managed and scheduled personnel, and I get along with people well. I'm centrally located on Oahu and can travel to any part of the island.

Ideally, I'd like to find a job matching my interest in blogging with a company which is interested in expanding its corporate communications via a blog, but I recognize there aren't a lot of those in the state. I can do marketing and/or accounting support and I've been known to troubleshoot small computers down to the card-changing level.

My researcher résumé is here and my previous work history is here.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions you might have.
