During the job applications process, employers usually ask several inquiries during the interview time.

However

, sometimes these questions focus on personal life,

instead

of technical abilities' themed questions. In

this

essay, I will explain

this

information's relevance and usefulness and why I believe

this

inquiry should be avoided.

To begin

with, some hiring professionals spare some query related to particular issues

such

as marital status, types of hobbies and what kind of activity usually the person like to do for their amusement. If

this

happens to break the ice during the interview process, I believe that

such

inquiries are harmless and could help the candidate to relax. But the answer to these questioning should not have any impact on the final decision for the position application.

Such

decisions should rely only on technical abilities knowledge, and interpersonal relationships.

For instance

, the choice between two people might be related to who has more experience in doing that specific job and have teamwork skills, rather than if they are married with two kids and do not like sports.

This

is because some job applicants may think they could be declassified because they have small kids, or because they are in a relationship, especially among women candidates.

Consequently

, they sometimes have to lie about some personal information in order to have the same technical assessment as other candidates. In conclusion, if personal queries are done with the aim to make the interview more comfortable and less stressful

then

it can be useful, but

otherwise

, I believe that if the aim is to evaluate some candidates based on their answers,

this

should be avoided, since there is no relevant information that could be assessed.

The rise of low-cost airlines has made it possible for the public at large to travel abroad with relative ease. In my opinion, despite the advantages this creates for less affluent citizens, it is a net negative given the repercussions of the tourist industry to local nations.
