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.
Nowadays, employers often require applicants to provide personal details while applying for a job. While there are people who think that asking for
such
information
is useless, others think it is necessary to gather such
data, and I agree with this
point of view.
On the one hand, collecting personal details from the job applicant is considered beneficial. Firstly
, it helps the company to know the applicant in more depth such
as the hobbies of the potential employee. This
is useful to shortlist applications for jobs where requirements are strict such
as night time shifts. Secondly
, the company can understand the personality of the person to see if it he fits with the culture and values. Furthermore
, this
knowledge helps the organizations to build diverse and multicultural teams by hiring people with distinct backgrounds, personalities and skills.
On the other hand
, collecting private details of people has numerous consequences for the society. In the first
place, such
data can result in bias towards specific groups. For example
, an employer might give preference to the people with no disabilities rather than giving equal opportunity to everyone. Also
, misuse can result in gender, color
or race discrimination. a visual attribute of things that results from the light they emit or transmit or reflect
colour
Furthermore
, if the company shares that data with third
parties, then
It can be misused to target people with misleading advertisements. Lastly
, candidates can submit incorrect information
to increase their chances of getting hired if the selection criteria includes
personal qualities.
In conclusion, some employers feel comfortable in asking personal Suggestion
include
information
during the job application. There are some downsides to this
approach, but in my opinion, asking for such
information
can be beneficial if companies ensure safety and ethical usage of the collected data.Unauthorized use and/or duplication of this material without express and written permission from this site’s author and/or owner is strictly prohibited.
