Eight training and social services organisations will provide information on training courses and offer job counselling services to participants. A thematic talk on job hunting skills and construction industry skill demonstrations are scheduled for the afternoon.
The vacancies offered cover a wide variety of positions such as network sales executive, library materials maintenance assistant, customer services associate, salesperson, cashier, shop assistant, cook, waiter/waitress, security guard, driver, storekeeper and others. Job seekers can find more information on the department's Interactive Employment Service website (www.jobs.gov.hk).
Around 73 per cent of the vacancies are full-time jobs. Most vacancies offer monthly salaries ranging from $7,000 to $13,000. Over 96 per cent of the vacancies require a Secondary Six education level or below. Around 73 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 register for employment services on the spot at the Labour Department's counter.
