IMPROVED TELEPHONE FACILITIES FOR JOB HUNTERS

*****

THE LABOUR DEPARTMENT HAS INSTALLED NEW TELEPHONES EQUIPPED WITH A NUMBER HUNTING DEVICE AT ALL ITS LOCAL EMPLOYMENT SERVICE OFFICES TO IMPROVE THE COMMUNICATION WITH THE PUBLIC.

EXPLAINING THE BENEFIT OF THE NEW SYSTEM, SENIOR LABOUR OFFICER, MR. CHAN WING-KIT, SAID: THE DEVICE HAS THE ADVANTAGE OF AUTOMATICALLY FINDING THE NEXT OR A THIRD TELEPHONE NUMBER IF THE FIRST ONE IS ENGAGED.+

+ IN THIS WAY, HE SAID, IT WILL PROVIDE AN EFFICIENT COMMUNICATION SYSTEM BETWEEN ENQUIRERS AND THE LOCAL EMPLOYMENT SERVICE,+

THE NEW NUMBERS OF THE DEPARTMENT'S EIGHT LOCAL EMPLOYMENT SERVICE OFFICES ARE:

* NEW RODNEY BLOCK, 99 QUEENSWAY, RK

TEL.

+WITH THE INSTALLATION OF THESE NEW TELEPHONES,+ MR. CHAN ADDED, IT IS HOPED THAT EMPLOYERS WHO HAVE VACANCIES TO FILL WILL BE ENCOURAGED TO CONTACT THE LOCAL EMPLOYMENT SERVICE.+

MR. CHAN ALSO POINTED OUT THAT EMPLOYERS COULD SAVE BOTH THE EXPENSE OF ADVERTISING AND THE TROUBLE OF SORTING THROUGH A LARGE NUMBER OF APPLICATIONS TO FIND THE RIGHT CANDIDATES IF THEY MAKE USE OF THE LOCAL EMPLOYMENT SERVICE FOR THEIR STAFF RECRUITMENT.

MR. CHAN URGED PEOPLE SEEKING EMPLOYMENT ASSISTANCE TO PERSONALLY REGISTER WITH THE SERVICE, GIVING RELEVANT PARTICULARS SUCH AS THE IR QUALIFICATIONS AND THE SALARY THEY EXPECT.
