Guide for Job Hunting

Job Hunting Means

Job seekers can access vacancy information through the following means and increase their chances of getting employed:

• Job Centres, Recruitment Centres for the Catering Industry, Retail Industry and Construction Industry of the Labour Department
  
• "Interactive Employment Service" website of the Labour Department: https://www.jobs.gov.hk/0/en/ (vacancies of private establishments, public organisations, and non-civil service contract posts of government departments/bureaux are uploaded)
• Other recruitment websites
• Company websites
• Civil Service Bureau's website: https://www.csb.gov.hk/english/index.html (government job vacancies are uploaded)
• Large-Scale Job Fairs/Recruitment Days

Preparing for Job Application

A recruiting organisation receives many application letters and resumes every day.  To secure an interview, apart from having the required qualifications, a well-written application letter and resume allow you to stand out amongst other applications and help create a good impression on the recruiting employer.

Preparing Application Letter and Resume

• Understand the duties, qualifications, requirements and application means of the post
• Highlight your strengths and qualifications which meet the requirements of the post
• Don't give false information
• During the application stage, employers are not expected to collect from job seekers excessive personal information.  Important personal data such as identity card number, credit card account number, bank account number should be only provided to employers upon hiring, and strictly on a need basis.
• Use proper email address instead of weird email addresses in job hunting.
