However, if they know you're coming in from the mainland, they may well expect a coat and tie. I don't know as anyone will worry about someone who is too formal. So a coat and tie "miss" might be safer than a aloha wear "miss".

Re: Job Interview?
This article from Hawaii Business magazine is still a favorite of mine. I send this to some of our mainland consultants before they arrive.

Re: Job Interview?
that's an article that anyone even thinking of moving here should also read. and certainly one that all newcomers to the islands should take the time to read."Democracy is the only system that persists in asking the powers that be whether they are the powers that ought to be."

The typical business attire for the islands is a conservative aloha shirt (not bright colors like the sell to the tourists).
