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.
It is undeniable that
companies
nowadays ask applicants to fill in the details
about their personal choices and life such
as their likes, dislikes and marital status. This
practice is appreciated by a section of the
society while opposed by others. Personally, I believe that revealing personal Correct article usage
apply
information
anywhere in the job application is not beneficial. This
essay will discuss both points of view, followed by a reasoned conclusion.
On the one hand, there are many people who consider that providing personal information
to employers is advantageous for them because it enables the company to offer incentives that suit the interests of the staff. For example
, employers sometimes offer free memberships of clubs and gym fitness centres, which is definitely helpful for workers. In India, product-based companies
, for example
, take all the relevant information
about an applicant before offering a job and after joining, these companies
provide free gym access and certain discounts on various clubs according to employee’s areas of interest. Hence
, giving personal information
is beneficial to some extent.
On the other hand
, many consider these details
irrelevant and I agree with these people. Firstly
, during the application for a job, personal information
does not play any role. To explain it in more detail, an application should have all the details
about the candidate’s technical experience and educational details
because a position is offered only on the basis of the candidate’s ability and not because he is married or sporty. Secondly
, sometimes firms show bias when they learn about a worker’s marital status. For example
, a bachelor / an unmarried person) can work night shifts and he can work on weekends also
because he is not married. Consequently
, these companies
may show a reluctance to hire married applicants. Therefore
, making personal details
available to companies
could be harmful to workers. Also
, companies
do not need this
information
during the hiring process.
To conclude, it is a common practice among companies
to collect the personal information
of their employees. However
, I strongly believe that it is not helpful anywhere and sometimes it can have a negative impact on employees.Submitted by buddika.manage on
