Application Procedures (including online application)

Recruitment advertisements for all government jobs are posted on this website and may also be placed in local newspapers. Most vacancies require applications to be submitted on a prescribed application form (G.F. 340).  Hard copies of the forms are obtainable from any Home Affairs Enquiry Centre of District Offices, Home Affairs Department or any Job Centre of the Employment Services Division, Labour Department.

Candidates may download the application form (G.F. 340) or apply online :

The new version of application form for Government jobs G.F. 340 (Rev. 7/2023) has been in use and available with effect from 26 July 2023. Candidates who apply for Government jobs advertised on or after 26 July 2023 should use the new G.F. 340 (Rev. 7/2023). If candidates submit the old version form G.F. 340 (Rev. 3/2013), they will be required to fill in the new G.F. 340 (Rev. 7/2023) afresh and submit it within seven days upon request. If candidates fail to submit the new G.F. 340 (Rev. 7/2023) within the stipulated deadline, their applications will not be processed further.

For the avoidance of doubt, for recruitment exercises advertised before 26 July 2023, both the old version G.F. 340 (Rev. 3/2013) and new G.F. 340 (Rev. 7/2023) shall be accepted.

Completed forms should reach the specified addresses for respective posts before the closing date for applications. On receipt of applications, the recruiting grade / department will issue an acknowledgement of application to the candidates. Those candidates who are selected for selection interview or examination will normally receive an invitation in about six to eight weeks from the closing date for applications.

Candidates can contact the relevant recruiting grade / department for enquiries on recruitment matters relating to individual posts. [Click here for contact details of recruiting grades / departments]
