The department lists a wide spread of positions. Grouped by type of work, they include:
| Field | Examples named by the Labour Department |

| Technical and property | Assistant building services engineer, technical supervisor, quality controller, assistant property officer |
| Office and security | Accounts clerk, security officer |
The range runs from entry-level posts to supervisory and managerial ones, so the fair is useful both for first-time job seekers and for people with a few years behind them.
When and where is it?
- Dates: Thursday 12 and Friday 13 November 2026
- Time: 11am to 5.30pm (last admission 5pm)
- Venue: 1/F, MacPherson Stadium, 38 Nelson Street, Mong Kok

Who can attend?
The fair is open to the public and no ticket is mentioned. As with any job in Hong Kong, you need the legal right to work there, so take your Hong Kong identity card. Since more than nine in ten vacancies need Secondary Seven or lower, school leavers and people without a degree have a real chance. Around half the jobs do not ask for experience in the same field, which helps career changers.
How do I apply?
- Before the day, browse the vacancies on the Labour Department's job fair pages at jobs.gov.hk and note the employers you want to see.
- Bring several printed copies of your CV, your identity card and copies of any certificates.
- Hand in applications at the employers' booths. You may be picked for an interview there and then.
- If you want help with your job search, speak to staff at the Labour Department counter inside the hall, where you can ask about its employment services.
What it means for job seekers
- With over 2,700 openings under one roof, the fair is a sizeable one, and two-thirds of the posts are in three sectors that hire all year: food, shops and logistics.
- A pay band of HK$12,000 to HK$25,000 covers both starter and skilled roles. Ask each employer about shifts, overtime and allowances, as these change take-home pay a lot.
- Morning queues tend to be longest. Arriving early still gives you first pick of interview slots.
- Dress as you would for an interview, because one may happen within minutes of handing over your CV.
- Cannot attend? The same employers' vacancies remain searchable on the department's website after the event.
Also recruiting in the city: Hong Kong's Building Maintenance Council, which plans to take on about 90 staff.
