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 relevant and useful. Others disagree. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

In curriculum vitae, someone has to mention their personal interests and likings apart from their professional and educational achievements.

Therefore

, a proportion of

people

consider it unnecessary during

job

interviews.

However

, in my opinion , it is good to have some knowledge about the personal life of the applicants.

People

who favour the idea of asking for information about marital status, speciality and likings while applying for a

job

may favour

this

because employers could imagine about applicant's personality. Because strong and innovative

people

have some kind of adventurous

hobbies

. But,

on the other hand

,an average man could have likings and interests in small little and daily chores type things.

Furthermore

, from marital status, an employee's availability and concentration on work could be estimated.

For example

, if somebody has

hobbies

like reading books and newspapers

then

one can guess that the

person

likes to be updated about the world and is eager to grab knowledge and information,

in contrast

to someone who likes sleeping and shopping.

On the other hand

, according to some asking information like

hobbies

and marital status is irrelevant. They might think

this

because one can not judge an applicant's efficiency and competency from his

hobbies

. Because the majority of the population has different types of attitudes during work time and at home. Generally,

people

like to relax at home after working hours and

also

set their

hobbies

in that way.

For example

, I am the kind of

person

who is very attentive and energetic at the

job

but after coming back home I am a kind of lazy

person

who likes to nap and do nothing. In conclusion,asking about married or not and about the

hobbies

of an applicant is absolutely fine because it might help an employer in making some judgements about the

person

who is applying for the

job

.
