The Labour Department will hold the Opening Up a New Terrain Job Fair at MacPherson Stadium in Mong Kok on November 12 and 13, offering more than 2,700 vacancies drawn largely from the catering, retail, and logistics and transport industries, according to the department. Over 60 organisations are listed as participants.

About 30 organisations will set up booths and recruit on the spot each day. Positions range from branch manager, enrolled nurse and technical supervisor to warehouse supervisor, accounts clerk, security officer, cook and driver. Around 83 per cent of the vacancies are full-time, most carry monthly salaries of $12,000 to $25,000, about 94 per cent require Secondary Seven education or below, and about 52 per cent are open to applicants without relevant work experience.

Applications can be submitted at the event, with the possibility of on-the-spot interviews, and staff will answer enquiries about the department's employment services. The fair runs from 11am to 5.30pm at 1/F, MacPherson Stadium, 38 Nelson Street, near MTR Mong Kok Station Exit E2. Admission is free, with final admission at 5pm each day.
