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 these views and give your own opinion.

Some companies want to know the personal details about the employees like, their hobbies, interest area and married or not. By knowing
this
information
as per my opinion,
one
should identify the
one
’s stability in the company and work ability, while others think that
this
information
is not matter it depends on the situation.
To begin
with,
one
of the important reasons is that some recruiters believe that knowing about marital status gives the idea about how long
one
should continue the
job
.
This
type of
information
will be asked for most of the girls.
For Example
, after marriage girls, shift to the husband’s home; there may be possibility that girls what to change the
job
after the short period of the joining the company.
Moreover
, knowing the employee, hobby and interest area allows to judge the
person
having knowledge of the technology, even it
also
possible to decide their performance ability.
Thus
,
this
type of
information
will be helpful to decide the
person
’s capacity, whether possible for them to handle a certain
job
responsibility.
On the other hand
, there are certain people in human resource department, they think that during interview asking personal
information
is not much important for the
person
selecting.
Firstly
, they believe selection must be based on the knowledge and experience a
person
having for a particular,
job
. As having experience, they will able to manage their responsibilities.
For instance
, Research conducted shows that as a
person
’s hobby will change as per time spend;
that is
not considered as a good selection option.
Furthermore
,
one
should can contribute more working hour to the company, even if having, a married status, that depend on the individual choice not on their status.
Thus
, the selection criteria for the employment will be the knowledge and experience of the
person
. In conclusion, some employers consider the personal
information
as not important, they think
this
depends on the situation, while others say that knowing the ability and interest
as a result
improves the performance. The government should promote
this
attitude.
