The Labour Department (LD) will hold the Opening Up a New Terrain Job Fair at MacPherson Stadium in Mong Kok on August 17 and 18 to offer a large number of vacancies for young people and fresh graduates.
Approximately 60 organisations will participate in the two-day job fair and offer over 3 200 vacancies. About 30 organisations will set up booths and conduct recruitment activities on the spot each day. The vacancies cover a wide variety of positions including management trainee, registered nurse, veterinary assistant, education centre tutor, clerk, shop assistant, customer service officer, assistant engineer, technician, security guard, driver, storekeeper, waiter/waitress, chef, bus captain, tram driver and cashier.
Around 85 per cent of the vacancies are full-time jobs. Most vacancies offer monthly salaries ranging from $11,000 to $19,000. About 97 per cent of the vacancies require a Secondary Six education level or below. Around 62 per cent are open to job seekers without relevant work experience and are suitable for fresh graduates.
Job seekers can submit job applications during the event and may be selected for on-the-spot interviews. They can also make enquiries on the employment services provided by the LD at its counter inside the venue.
The job fair will be held from 11am to 5.30pm at 1/F, MacPherson Stadium, 38 Nelson Street, Mong Kok (near Mong Kok MTR Station Exit E2). Admission is free, with the final admission time at 5pm each day.
