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.

A lot of personal questions are asked to the candidates sometimes, while applying for a position in an organization, including their interests, hobbies and even marital status. Several people feel that the questions asked are necessary and appropriate, whereas the others do not agree. According to me it is a debatable issue. The entrepreneurs want to run their businesses efficiently, smoothly and effectively and every company has its own specific goals, so in order to achieve them, they require a workforce of people with some particular interests and goals.

Consequently

, to make sure whether an applicant is a perfect fit for their company or not the employers have a certain set of questions to which every seeker has to answer and it helps them to narrow the search of an ideal candidate for the empty spot in their team.

For example

, in some workplaces the employees work in rotating shifts, for long hours and the people who are married or lives with their family are not usually more flexible than the ones who lives individually.

On the other hand

, while filling a job application many applicants refrain from applying, for

such

jobs which requires them to answer about their sexual orientation, relationship status

,

Accept space

,

personal interests and goals.

Hence

, it makes the application process way more lengthier and wastes a lot of time which could be used to apply for other jobs. In conclusion, I firmly believe that the hiring personals want to choose the best match for the available position in their company and by asking

such

kind of questions they try to link the personal lifestyle of every individual to the role they are seeking to fill and eventually chooses the most relevant personality.
