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.
When it comes to sharing personal
information
such
as hobbies, marital status, interests, etc., with an employer, people are divided on two opposite camps. While one group of people believes this
information
could be useful, others advocate that there is no value in such
sort of data. In this
essay pros and cons will be analyzed
before my own prospective is given.
One the one hand, there are benefits of collecting examined carefully and methodically; broken down for consideration of constituent parts
analysed
information
about potential employees, including their hobbies, lifestyle, marital status, etc. This
is because such
kind of information
could help employers to select candidates more carefully and suggest the best offer to them. For example
, a position that requires travel frequently to various cities, most likely, will not suit a person who leads a sedentary lifestyle. In additional, in some realms such
as an IT, it is important to support a high team spirit, so, in this
case, selecting people with the same hobbies and interests could be beneficial.
On the other hand
, there are some demerits in gathering personal information
from job candidates. This
information
could distract employers from the professional skills of the candidate. Moreover
, it can lead to discrimination. For example
, an interviewer can choose a person only because they share the same hobbies, but not for their professional skills and abilities.
In conclusion, I firmly believe that the merits of collecting personal information
from candidates overweigh the drawbacks. This
data can help employers provide applicants with the best job positions that not only suited their professional skills, but also
, their hobbies.Submitted by evchernigovskiy on
