The Labour Department (LD) will hold a large-scale job fair at MacPherson Stadium in Mong Kok on July 20 and 21 to provide a large number of vacancies from various industries for job seekers.
About 60 organisations will participate in the two-day job fair and offer over 4 500 quality job vacancies, more than 3 000 of which will come from catering, retail and hotel industries. Around 30 organisations will set up booths and conduct recruitment on the spot each day. A wide variety of positions will be offered including engineer, customer services officer, operations host, reservation clerk, assistant concierge, technician trainee (vehicle mechanic/electrician), assistant manager, restaurant supervisor, pastry commis, management information system officer, senior building supervisor and interior designer. Job seekers can visit the LD's Interactive Employment Service website (www.jobs.gov.hk) for more details of the vacancies.
Over 79 per cent of the vacancies offered in the job fair are full-time jobs. Most vacancies offer monthly salaries ranging from $12,000 to $22,000. About 96 per cent of the vacancies require a Secondary Seven education level or below. Around 66 per cent are open to job seekers without relevant work experience.
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 final admission time at 5pm each day.
