***************************************************
The Labour Department will hold a job fair at Tuen Mun Town Hall from August 13 to 15.
A total of 60 organisations, mainly from the retail, catering, property management and transport industries, offering about 5 500 vacancies, will participate at the fair. Twenty participating organisations will set up counters and conduct on-the-spot recruitment each day.
The vacancies offered cover a wide variety of positions such as customer service attendant, beautician, salesperson, cashier, shop assistant, waiter/waitress, cook, kitchen helper, building assistant, security guard, storekeeper and cleaner. Job seekers can find more information on the department's Interactive Employment Service website (www.jobs.gov.hk).
Around 80 per cent of the vacancies are full-time jobs. Most vacancies offer monthly salaries ranging from $8,000 to $15,000. Over 99 per cent of the vacancies require a Secondary Six education level or below. Around 74 per cent are open to job seekers who may lack relevant 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 register for employment services at the Labour Department's counter.
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, New Territories. Admission is free.
