During the job applications process, employers usually ask several inquiries during the interview time.
However
Linking Words
, sometimes these questions focus on personal life,
instead
Linking Words
of technical abilities' themed questions. In
this
Linking Words
essay, I will explain
this
Linking Words
information's relevance and usefulness and why I believe
this
Linking Words
inquiry should be avoided.
To begin
Linking Words
with, some hiring professionals spare some query related to particular issues
such
Linking Words
as marital status, types of hobbies and what kind of activity usually the person like to do for their amusement. If
this
Linking Words
happens to break the ice during the interview process, I believe that
such
Linking Words
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
Linking Words
decisions should rely only on technical abilities knowledge, and interpersonal relationships.
For instance
Linking Words
, 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
Linking Words
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
Linking Words
, 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
Linking Words
it can be useful, but
otherwise
Linking Words
, I believe that if the aim is to evaluate some candidates based on their answers,
this
Linking Words
should be avoided, since there is no relevant information that could be assessed.
