It is always discussed that asking an applicant to provide personal information
such
as interest or marital status is beneficial for employers. Some
people
think
this
data
is necessary and useful but others think the opposite. In my opinion, informing the
people
who offer you a
job
about your private identity is required.
On the one hand, the information about the candidate's private life is important for the occupation. A reason for
this
, the business could include flexible working hours.
In other words
,
people
who get
this
job
have to spend most of their time at work. So, married or
people
with children could not be suitable for
this
occupation.
For example
, I could be called from my
job
in my resting time. If I had a baby, it could be difficult to both take care of the baby and to be in my working place.
In addition
,
knowledge
about the interests of the applicant could be useful. If visiting other countries without planning is required for the business,
people
who enjoy learning about other cultures or tasting the cuisine of other countries could be proper for it. For these reasons, personal
conditions
are important for the employee.
On the other hand
, many of those who disagree with the argument about the necessity of personal information believe that these
conditions
are irrelevant from the work you present. To be more precise, being married or getting a child does not reduce or affect your capacity or ability. There is no evidence that single
people
are more successful than coupled
people
.
Also
, these
people
believe that
knowledge
about hobbies and interests which is written on the application form is often fabricated by applicants to get the
job
. So, if the employees take
this
data
into consideration and choose a candidate to do
this
, the expectations which are caused by
this
knowledge
are not met in the end.
As a result
,
data
such
as interests and marital status could not be trustworthy and useful.
In conclusion, the personal status on the application form could be useful if the business requires special
conditions
such
as free working time or going to other countries,
although
this
data
is irrelevant from candidates capacity and ability which require for work and
also
these are often untrustful. In my opinion, the advantages of considering private
conditions
outweigh ignoring
this
knowledge
.
