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 the views and give your own opinion.

It is quite common in job applying processes that companies ask candidates about personal

information

such

as f

family, relationship

and what they do in their free time. While there are people that believe these facts are i

also

people that believe requiring

this

information

is not correct. Here, I'm going to explain both p

points

of views and

address my opinion. On one side of the discussion are people that think it's relevant to know more than just the candidate's professional background. They think knowing

information

such

as hobbies, civil state and family allows the

company

to understand psychological aspects of the candidate.

For instance

, if the candidate seems to be a more sociable person, it tends to have better t

eamworking

skills.

On the other hand

, some people believe companies shouldn't be allowed to ask about personal

information

to candidates applying for a job. They believe t

for example

, could not be considered for a position just because the
