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

#employers #people #jobs #information #hobbies #interests
Few a times, employers told individuals applying for jobs for personal
information
such
 as their hobbies and interests and
also
 about their marital status. Some people believe that
this
information
 is relevant and useful while others think it is irrelevant.
This
 essay tends to analyze both views in the upcoming paragraphs before making any opinion. There are ample benefits of sharing personal
information
 with employers as
first
 and foremost is they would able to judge your skills better on the basis of
information
 you provided and
also
 helps you to select a job according to your interest and efficiency.
For instance
, if an individual is hired for a job in its interested field
then
 definitely he/she should be able to perform better and ultimately it will
also
 benefit the organization. So it would be a win and win situation for both employers and employees.
Furthermore
, it significantly helps women who are married and have kids to choose their relevant working hours so that their family priorities do not take a back seat. As every coin has a flip slide
similarly
, it
also
 has few drawbacks
firstly
this
 type of
information
 is confidential and it should not be disclosed in any working place. One can easily harm by using
this
information
. To exemplify, if someone knows about kids ,
then
 any plan can be made to destroy your family.
Secondly
, sometimes people are not really comfortable sharing their personal details because people use to switch jobs at different companies so it would not be right to share details at every place. In a nutshell, there is some kind of truth in both opinions but I firmly believe that personal
information
 should not be asked to disclose at any organization as it would be really unsafe for the workers personal and professional life.

Support ideas with relevant, specific examples

Examples make your writing easier to understand by illustrating points more effectively.

Examples, if used properly, not only help you get higher marks for ‘Task Response’ but also for ‘Coherence’.

When giving examples it is best to put them after your main idea or topic sentence. They can be used in the middle of supporting sentences or they can be used to start a new sentence. There is no rule for where exactly to give examples in essays, logically they would come after your main idea/topic sentence or just after a supporting sentence.

Linking words for giving examples:

  • for example
  • for instance
  • to illustrate this
  • to give a clear example
  • such as
  • namely
  • to illustrate
  • take, for example
