About 1,700 of the latest job vacancies will be showcased at the Employment Information Expo 2003 this Wednesday, where job seekers can submit their applications on the spot.

Organised by the Labour Department and the Employees Retraining Board, the vacancies offered cover include jobs such as restaurant manager, shop manager, engineer, computer technician, property management officer, shop assistant, sales assistant, laboratory assistant, waiter/waitress, repairer, security guard and domestic helper. 

About two dozen companies from different industries and trades - including catering, retail, property management, IT and communications and manafucturing - will recruit staff at the venue. 

The expo will feature a Mainland Employment Information Pavilion. Visitors can browse the department's special webpage for Mainland employment to get more in-depth knowledge of the employment situation there.

The Labour Department will conduct on-the-spot job registration as well as a demonstration of the Interactive Employment Service Website and the new Vacancy Search Terminals. Job seekers may search for suitable jobs on-line from about 17,000 vacancies registered with the department.
