The Labour Department (LD) will hold a large-scale job fair at Dragon Centre on August 15 and 16. Vacancies in retail, catering, property management and other industries will be offered.

     A total of 42 organisations, offering over 3 200 vacancies, will participate in the two-day fair. Twenty-one organisations will set up booths and conduct on-the-spot recruitment each day. The vacancies offered cover a wide variety of positions including clerk, logistics assistant, cargo services officer, ward aide, courier, receptionist, security guard, driver, storekeeper, waiter/waitress, chef, technician, cashier and packer. Job seekers can find more information on the LD's Interactive Employment Service website (www.jobs.gov.hk).

     Around 83 per cent of the vacancies are full-time jobs. Most vacancies offer monthly salaries ranging from $10,000 to $18,000. About 97 per cent of the vacancies require a Secondary Six education level or below. Around 73 per cent are open to job seekers without relevant work experience, and many vacancies are suitable for secondary school graduates or young people.

     Job seekers can submit applications on the spot and may be selected for on-site interviews. They can also make enquiries on the employment services provided by the LD at its counter at the venue.

     The job fair will be held from 11am to 5.30pm at the Atrium, 1/F, Dragon Centre, 37K Yen Chow Street, Sham Shui Po (near Sham Shui Po MTR Station Exit C1). Admission is free.
