Qualified applicants are required to attend an Assistant Education Officer (Administration) Recruitment Examination (tentatively to be held in mid/late July 2012) and only those who passed the written examination will be invited for interview. Candidates who are invited to sit for the Assistant Education Officer (Administration) Recruitment Examination will normally receive an invitation by the end of June 2012. As it takes time to verify candidates' qualifications, an invitation to the Assistant Education Officer (Administration) Recruitment Examination does not imply that their qualifications meet the entry requirements of the Assistant Education Officer (Administration) post. Candidates should be responsible, self-motivated and enthusiastic; have a fine character and integrity; be committed to serve in the education field; and be able to communicate effectively in Chinese and English.
