(a) Candidates must be permanent residents of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region at the time of appointment unless specified otherwise.
(b) As an Equal Opportunities Employer, the Government is committed to eliminating discrimination in employment. The vacancy advertised is open to all applicants meeting the basic entry requirement irrespective of their disability, sex, marital status, pregnancy, age, family status, sexual orientation and race.
(c) Civil service vacancies are posts on the civil service establishment. Candidates selected for these vacancies will be appointed on civil service terms of appointment and conditions of service and will become civil servants on appointment.

The Government policy and other related measures on employment of persons with disabilities are set out in the booklet “Employ People Based on Their Abilities – Application for Government Jobs by Persons with Disabilities” which is available for reference on the Civil Service Bureau's website at http://www.csb.gov.hk under “Administration of the Civil Service – Appointments”.

Candidates who apply online should submit photocopies of Hong Kong driving licence to the enquiry address of the Transport Department by post within one week after close of application period (i.e. not later than 7 February 2020).

Except a copy of Hong Kong driving licence, applicants are not required to submit originals or photocopies of any supporting documents at this stage.

For submission of the application and/or supporting documents by post, please specify on the envelope “Application for the post of Driving Examiner II”. Applicants should ensure that the correct address is clearly printed or written on the envelope and sufficient postage is affixed before posting so as to avoid unsuccessful delivery of application. The Transport Department would not collect underpaid mail items and notify the applicants, and would not settle the surcharge payment for the applicants. The postmark date on the envelope will be regarded as the date of submission of application and/or submission of supporting documents.

As invitations for the driving skills assessment and/or selection interview may be made through e-mail, applicants should provide an accurate e-mail address on the application forms and be responsible for checking their e-mails and ensuring that the provided e-mail address can receive the invitations.

Candidates who are selected for driving skills assessment will normally receive an invitation in about ten to twelve weeks from the closing date for applications. Longer time may be required when a large number of applications are received or when there are other complications. Only candidates who pass the driving skills assessment will be invited for the selection interviews and considered for appointment.
