Over 2 000 job vacancies on offer at Creating New Opportunities Job Fair

     The Labour Department (LD) will hold a large-scale job fair at Southorn Stadium in Wan Chai on August 4 and 5 to provide many vacancies from various industries for job seekers.
      
     About 40 organisations will participate in the two-day job fair and offer over 2 000 job vacancies. Around 20 organisations will set up booths and conduct recruitment activities on the spot each day. The vacancies include accounting officer, social media and marketing executive, electronic engineer, chef, IT administrator, chemist, social worker, technician, packer, security guard, driver, storekeeper, shop assistant, clerk and customer service officer. Job seekers can find more information on the vacancies on the LD's Interactive Employment Service website (www.jobs.gov.hk).
      
     Around 80 per cent of the vacancies are full-time jobs and most of them offer monthly salaries ranging from $12,000 to $21,000. About 95 per cent of the vacancies require a Secondary Six education level or below. About 60 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, Southorn Stadium, 111 Johnston Road, Wan Chai (near Exit A3 of Wan Chai MTR Station). Admission is free, with the final admission time at 5pm each day.
