Unemployment is undoubtedly a hard time in one's life: it not only brings upon financial difficulties but also deal a blow to the self-esteem of the unemployed person. Labour Department will put in our best effort to provide effective and tailor-made employment services to job-seekers.
When confronted with difficulties, job seekers must not confuse your situation, nor lose your confidence. Instead, job seekers should dare to face the difficulties, sharing your worries with your family and friends and keep mind at ease.
For problems beyond the employment issue, you should seek professional help proactively if you think you cannot cope with them. Government departments and many organizations in society are prepared to give a hand to the needy.
