Assistant Information Officer (General) Written Examination : Applicants are required to sit an Assistant Information Officer (General) written examination conducted by ISD. The examination date will be posted to ISD website (http://www.isd.gov.hk). Only those who have passed the examination will be further considered for the selection interview. Candidates who are not invited to attend the written examination within three months from the closing date may assume their applications unsuccessful. Basic Law Assessment : For the purpose of heightening public awareness of the Basic Law (BL) and promoting a culture of learning of BL in the community, assessment of BL knowledge will be included in the recruitment for all civil service jobs. Results of the BL test (BLT) for degree/professional grades will be one of the considerations to assess the suitability of a candidate but will not affect his/her eligibility for applying for civil service jobs. As a general principle, the main consideration for suitability for appointment remains a candidate’s qualification, experience and caliber.

Candidates with a Hong Kong degree or equivalent should send their applications directly to the Civil Service Examinations Unit.
