20 enterprises provide thousands of job vacancies

Twenty enterprises took part in a recruitment fair organised by the Macau Federation of Trade Unions (FOAM), offering thousands of job vacancies covering fields such as information technology, engineering, and service and administration, according to local Chinese broadcaster TDM radio.
The city’s special taxi operator – Radio Taxi Macau Taxi Service Ltd – also attended the fair, aiming to recruit some 150 to 200 employees for the company’s operations beginning next April, according to the general manager of the company. The taxi operator is recruiting drivers as well as administrative and operational staff. The operator revealed that the salaries of drivers will include a basic salary as well as bonuses.
The President of FOAM, Ho Sut Heng, commented during her time at the fair yesterday that the city’s overall employment situation has improved, noting that the economic adjustment in the city has produced a certain level of impact, according to the broadcaster.
Ho said that it is becoming easier for gaming workers to switch to other jobs, adding that some are seeking a variety of occupations.
The President of FOAM also revealed that many local workers are willing to participate in training courses, adding that local employers and enterprises should offer more opportunities to their employees, in particular to middle-aged residents and new immigrants.
One worker involved in the gaming industry, told the broadcaster he would be willing to switch to another industry as well as take training courses. He said that the city’s gaming operators currently provide very limited courses enabling workers to be promoted to higher positions, but he believes that local enterprises are willing to offer opportunities to the younger work demographic.
