The Labour Department (LD) will hold a large-scale job fair at Yau Tong Community Hall from May 15 to 17. Vacancies in catering, retail, property management, business services and other industries will be offered. Twenty-three participating organisations will set up booths and conduct on-the-spot recruitment each day.
A total of 69 organisations, offering about 5 600 vacancies, will participate in the three-day fair. The vacancies offered cover a wide variety of positions such as summer part-time sales worker, clerk, cargo services officer, hospital operation assistant, engineer assistant, investigation trainee, receptionist, security guard, driver, storekeeper, waiter/waitress, chef, technician, cashier, packer and more. Job seekers can find more information on the LD's Interactive Employment Service website (www.jobs.gov.hk).
Around 80 per cent of the vacancies are for full-time jobs. Most vacancies offer monthly salaries ranging from $9,000 to $16,000. About 97 per cent of the vacancies require a Secondary Six education level or below. Around 74 per cent are open to job seekers without relevant work experience, and many vacancies are suitable for young people and secondary school graduates.
Job seekers can submit applications on the spot and may be selected for on-site interviews. They can also make enquiries on employment services at the LD's counter at the venue.
The job fair will be held from 11am to 5.30pm at Yau Tong Community Hall, 38 Ko Chiu Road, Yau Tong, Kowloon. Admission is free.
