The Labor Department and the Ethnic Minority Center of the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment of Hong Kong held a job fair for co-creation of multiculturalism at the Southorn venue in Wanchai for two consecutive days starting today (24th). About 24 organizations each set up recruitment counters at the venue every day.

Job fair offers more than 3,400 job vacancies
The job fair provided more than 3,400 job vacancies, including room attendants, port assistants, theme park attendants, aircraft engine maintenance trainees, etc. The Police and Correctional Services Department also set up counters to introduce vacancies and application qualifications.
About 69% are full-time vacancies, most of which have monthly salaries ranging from 12,000 to 23,000 yuan.
About 95% of the job vacancies require academic qualifications below Form 6, and about 70% of the job vacancies do not require work experience.
Job seekers can submit job application documents on the spot and have the opportunity to conduct interviews on the spot.
However, today may be affected by the rain, the scene is relatively deserted, and multi-ethnic job seekers account for about 10%.
The DAB's Ethnic Minority Service Center also set up counters at the job fair to introduce the center's support services to ethnic minorities.
A total of 6 training institutions will also introduce training courses to those present.
Simultaneous interpretation services in Hindi, Urdu and Nepali are also available on site.
Police officer hopes to change jobs, hoping to find animal care work
Mr. Liang, who claimed to be a policeman in his twenties, said, “Come and see today.” His original goal was to find a job in animal care, but he couldn’t find any related jobs at the scene. When asked why he changed careers, he bluntly said that he was working in the disciplined forces. It is not as good as ideal, described as "I bought my youth with money."
He said that he had studied animal care, logging and other related courses, but was not hired because he did not have relevant work experience. "I expect the labor to be lower than before, and I want to accumulate more work experience first."

Under the epidemic situation, it is difficult to find a job, and the company requires multiple skills
One of the job seekers, a South Asian job seeker in his fifties, was born and raised in Hong Kong and can speak fluent Cantonese and write Chinese. He said that it was still difficult to find the job he wanted under the epidemic. "I have been to the job fair in Mong Kok before, but I haven't heard back yet."
Another job seeker was Ms. Chen in her thirties. Because her previous work contract had expired, she came to the scene mainly looking for clerical work.
She said that after the epidemic, it was more difficult to find the job she wanted. "A lot of companies think that I can do everything." When she failed to find a job, she said that she took courses related to administration to increase her value. "I hope to learn more skills to help me find jobs later work."

He Qiming, deputy director of the Labor and Welfare Bureau, said, "Understand that it is never easy for ethnic minorities to find a job." He believes that it is relatively difficult for ethnic minorities to find a job due to language barriers. "Technology can help with writing, but if you deal with customers They all need basic communication skills.” The companies participating in the job fair had relatively low requirements for Chinese. “I saw a lot of companies and were willing to help (ethnic minorities).”
