University graduate Ruby Lui Lok-yan was stunned when she was told to go to a bar for a job interview, and not to dress in a suit.
'The interviewer did not tell me why the venue should be a bar and said only that I should dress very smartly, very charmingly - but not in a suit,' said Ms Lui, a tourism graduate who was applying for a position as a guest relations officer at a new hotel.
'It was only when I arrived that I found out I was not to be interviewed by human resources staff but instead to play several ball games with other people applying for positions.'
Ms Lui is one of many graduates facing games and group activities rather than interviews.
During the 15-minute game session, Ms Lui and other candidates took turns to give their opinion on their preference for soccer or tennis, what they would take on a trip to the moon and, lastly, a brief self-introduction.
'I was given about 11/2 minutes to talk each round. I didn't have enough time to elaborate,' she said.
