     The Civil Service Bureau (CSB) launched a biennial open recruitment exercise for the post of Assistant Clerical Officer (ACO) today (July 29) to recruit about 2 000 ACOs on civil service terms in two years' time.

     A CSB spokesman said that ACOs would be assigned to perform general administrative support and clerical duties or frontline services in different government bureaux or departments.

     The recruitment is open to all permanent residents of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, including candidates of this year's Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education Examination, who meet the relevant entry requirements. Details of the entry requirements for the post have been uploaded to the CSB website (www.csb.gov.hk/english/recruit/7.html). Applicants can submit applications online through the CSB website. The closing date for application is August 11.

     Candidates have to pass a skills test before being invited to attend the selection interview. The skills test comprises a Chinese and English word processing speed test and a test on the application of common business software. Candidates will also be assessed on their knowledge of the Basic Law and the National Security Law through a written test. Only those candidates who have passed the aforementioned written test will be considered for appointment.

     Applicants can also submit their application forms by post to the General Grades Office. The application form (G.F. 340 (Rev. 3/2013)) can be downloaded from the CSB website (www.csb.gov.hk/english/recruit/application/331.html). The form is also obtainable from any Home Affairs Enquiry Centre of the District Offices of the Home Affairs Department or any Job Centre of the Employment Services Division of the Labour Department.
