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

In recent years there has been an increase in the number of companies or employers asking applicants to provide personal information about themselves.

This

is partly because the human resource team has become more efficient; and partly due to more interest in worker's personal lives than their education and skills. There are a number of strong arguments in favour of employers asking for private information about applicant's life. The

first

is that it may help companies, screen a large number of applications based on people's interests, enabling them to

a list of applicants winnowed from a longer list who have been deemed suitable and from which the successful person will be chosen

the candidate for the right role. A

further

point is that, many jobs may require the employees to work on flexible shifts, which are not often preferred by married

personnels

.

Thus

, employers can choose to interview people who are single by reading their marital status.

Finally

, large organisations conduct a plethora of cultural and sports events throughout the year and they look out for people who, can participate in them.

Therefore

, data about their sports or cultural preferences help

On the other hand

, there are many arguments against

this

exercise.

Firstly

, people may have different interests personally and professionally.

Also

, not to hire someone on the basis of their marital status could be a wrong decision as many married people are more likely to be

However

, the candidates should not be forced to provide all the personal details unless they wish to.
