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 this information may be relevant and useful. Others disagree. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.
Many times applicants are asked to provide personal

Furthermore
, in the case of hobbies and interests, subjective bias can take place. That is
to say, if a candidate’s interest matches the interviewer’s interest, then
there is a good possibility that the applicant will be recruited based on the subjective judgment of the interviewer.
