Recruitment for five civil service graduate grades starts today
***************************************************************
The application period opens on September 17 and closes at 5pm on October 7 Hong Kong time. The recruitment is open to all permanent residents of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) who meet the relevant entry requirements. Details of the entry requirements for these posts have been uploaded to the Civil Service Bureau (CSB) homepage at www.csb.gov.hk, as well as at the HKSAR Government portal (GovHK) at www.gov.hk.
For the recruitment of AOs, relevant information is also available on a dedicated website at www.ao-recruitment.gov.hk.
All applicants need to obtain Level 2 in the two language papers (i.e. Use of Chinese and Use of English), or equivalent results, and a Pass in the Aptitude Test in the Common Recruitment Examination (CRE) before they qualify for any of the above posts. In addition, candidates' performance in the Basic Law Test (BLT) will be one of the considerations in assessing the suitability of a candidate. Persons who do not possess the requisite CRE results, or equivalent, but have applied for the coming CRE and BLT (Degree/Professional Grades) scheduled to be held on October 8 and 15 in Hong Kong or on December 10 in Beijing and six overseas cities (namely London, San Francisco, New York, Toronto, Vancouver and Sydney) may also apply. Their applications will be processed subject to their obtaining the requisite results in the CRE.
Eligible applicants possessing the requisite CRE results, or equivalent, will be arranged to attend the Joint Administrative Officer/Executive Officer/Labour Officer/Trade Officer/Transport Officer Recruitment Examination (JRE) on December 10. Candidates residing or studying outside Hong Kong may take the JRE on the same date in Beijing or any one of the six overseas cities mentioned above. Candidates are required to pass the JRE.
Application forms (CSB 606 and CSB 606A (Rev. 9/2016)) are available at Home Affairs Enquiry Centres of the Home Affairs Department, Job Centres of the Employment Services Division of the Labour Department, or the Information Counter on 1/F of Trade and Industry Tower. They can also be downloaded from the CSB's homepage at www.csb.gov.hk.
Applicants can make online applications directly through the bureau's website. Each applicant should only submit one application, either by hand, by post or online. Duplicate applications will cause delay in processing and notifying applicants of their examination details. For applications submitted by post, please ensure that the correct address is clearly printed or written on the envelope and sufficient postage has been paid before posting. Mail items bearing insufficient postage will not be delivered and will be returned to the sender or disposed of by Hongkong Post, where appropriate.
