The Labour Department will hold a job fair at Kin Choi Community Hall in Tseung Kwan O on July 16 and 17.
A total of 38 organisations, mainly from the retail, catering and transport industries, offering over 2 500 vacancies, will participate at the fair. Nineteen organisations will set up counters and conduct on-the-spot recruitment each day.
The vacancies offered cover a wide variety of positions such as temporary production line worker and packer, customer service associate, building attendant, trolley assistant, sales person, cashier, shop assistant, waiter/waitress, driver, storekeeper and others. Job seekers can find more information on the department's Interactive Employment Service website (www.jobs.gov.hk).
Over 80 per cent of the vacancies are full-time jobs. Most vacancies offer monthly salaries ranging from $7,000 to $13,000. About 96 per cent of the vacancies require a Secondary Six education level or below. Around 64 per cent are open to job seekers who may lack relevant experience and many vacancies are suitable for young people and secondary school leavers.
Job seekers can submit applications on the spot and may be selected for on-site interviews. They can also register for employment services on the spot at the Labour Department's counter.
The job fair will be held from 11am to 5.30pm at Kin Choi Community Hall, 6/F, Choi Ming Shopping Centre Extension, Kin Ming Estate, Tseung Kwan O (MTR Tiu Keng Leng Station Exit A1). Admission is free.
