Role summary
Written by MyIslandJob from the job title and employer. See the employer's page for the full description.
The Part-Time Front Desk Agent welcomes guests, completes check-in and check-out, manages reservations, answers telephone and in-person enquiries, processes payments, and maintains accurate guest records. Candidates should have customer-service experience, professional communication skills, basic computer ability, attention to detail, and a welcoming, dependable approach. Previous hotel or front-desk experience is helpful but may not be essential. The role requires flexibility to work weekends, holidays, and rotating shifts, including early mornings or evenings. Because the property serves military personnel and their families, candidates are expected to follow security procedures, protect guest confidentiality, work calmly under pressure, and meet any employment eligibility or installation-access requirements.
Can I work in Hawaii?
Never pay anyone for a visa or a job offer. A real employer pays the permit costs and never asks you for money.
How it works
How it works: No ordinary visa for hotel jobs; a J-1 traineeship of up to 12 months is the realistic route.
Official source: USCIS: working in the United States. Checked November 2026.
