The recruitment of not more than 40 administrative officers on civil service terms will be conducted from October 1 to 24, the Civil Service Bureau says.

A panel co-chaired by the Chief Secretary for Administration and Financial Secretary and with the Secretary for the Civil Service as a member agreed there is a strong need for the administrative officers grade to recruit this year after a review of the grade's justifications and manpower plans.

Recruitment is open to Hong Kong permanent residents  who possess the required degree from a Hong Kong university or equivalent qualifications, or those who are undergraduates taking their final degree examinations next summer. For details, click here.

Qualified applicants will attend an examination on January 21. Results will be used for short-listing applicants for selection interviews in the current recruitment exercise.
