Around 71 per cent of the vacancies offered at the job fair are full-time jobs. Most vacancies offer monthly salaries ranging from $12,000 to $25,000. About 97 per cent of the vacancies require a Secondary Seven education level or below. Around 55 per cent are open to job seekers without relevant work experience.
