Employers sometimes ask people applying for jobs for personal information, such as their hobbies and interests, and whether they are married or single. Some people say that this information may be relevant and useful. Others disagree. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

It is common that resumes include individuals' private details,
for example
, marital status and
favorite
something regarded with special favor or liking
favourite
pastimes. The reason why they contain
this
information
is because companies believe that it will give a fuller picture of the
person
. Based on those details

era
is one of my hobbies. I played Erhu for 4 years, when I was in elementary school. Even though I played it for a long time, it is not one of my hobbies. The instrument was chosen by my parents. Playing it for a long time doesn't show any of my preference. To summarise, releasing people's personal
information
doesn't give any more details about the
person
, and it is still hard to sketch the outline of the
person
.
Therefore
, it is better to protect private details, and not share them with every employer.
