The Labour Department will hold a three-day large-scale job fair at Sha Tin Town Hall from August 19 to 21.
A total of 69 organisations, mainly from the retail, catering, transport and property management industries, offering about 5 800 vacancies, will participate at the job fair. Twenty three 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 clerk, aero engine repair trainee, courier, salesperson, waiter/waitress, cook, technician, security guard, driver, storekeeper, cleaner and more. Job seekers can find more information on the department's Interactive Employment Service website (www.jobs.gov.hk).
Around 86 per cent of the vacancies are full-time jobs. Most vacancies offer monthly salaries ranging from $8,000 to $15,000. About 99 per cent of the vacancies require a Secondary Six education level or below. Around 65 per cent are open to job seekers who may lack relevant experience and 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 Exhibition Gallery, 1/F, Sha Tin Town Hall, 1 Yuen Wo Road, Sha Tin. Admission is free.
