Labour Dept to hold job fairs
From tomorrow, the Labour Department will hold job fairs under the Enhanced Supplementary Labour Scheme (ESLS), providing job vacancies of waiter, waitress, junior cook and more, for local job seekers.
Over 25 organisations will participate in the job fairs this week, offering over 800 job vacancies. The job fairs, where admission is free, will be held from 10am to 1pm or from 2.30pm to 5.30pm at designated job centres.
The department also announced that from tomorrow, if an employer applies to import waiters, waitresses or junior cooks under the ESLS, the employer will be required to join a job fair once a week during the four-week local recruitment period at job centres assigned by the department, and conduct job interviews on the spot. If an employer fails to join the arranged job fairs, the department will reject its application for labour importation under the ESLS.
