The Labour Department (LD) will hold a large-scale job fair at Tuen Mun Town Hall on September 20 and 21.
With the theme of "Middle-aged and Elderly Employment", the job fair aims to enhance the employment opportunities of mature job seekers. A total of 44 organisations, mainly from the catering, retail and property management industries, offering about 5 200 vacancies, will participate in the fair. They will set up counters and conduct on-the-spot recruitment.
The vacancies offered cover a wide variety of positions including clerk, gardener, Chinese medicine pharmaceutical staff, customer service assistant, shop assistant, optometrist, physiotherapist, security guard, driver, car park attendant, cook, waiter/waitress and technician. Job seekers can find more information on the LD's Interactive Employment Service website (www.jobs.gov.hk).
Around 71 per cent of the vacancies are full-time jobs, most of which offer monthly salaries ranging from $8,000 to $18,000. The remaining 29 per cent of the vacancies are part-time jobs, with more flexible working hours. About 98 per cent of the vacancies require a Secondary Six education level or below. Around 80 per cent are open to job seekers who may lack relevant experience.
Job seekers can submit applications on the spot and may be selected for on-site interviews. They can also make enquiries on the employment programmes and services provided by the LD at its counter at the venue.
The job fair will be held from 11am to 5.30pm at the Exhibition Gallery, 1/F, Tuen Mun Town Hall, 3 Tuen Hi Road, Tuen Mun. Admission is free.
