Band 7

Employees 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 views and give your own opinion.

#employees #people #jobs #information #hobbies #interests
While some people say that personal information,
such
 as hobbies and marital status is required for applying for jobs, others disagree and believe that
employees
 should only consider work-related experiences. Both sides of
this
 statement will be discussed, and my opinion will be given. One clear benefit of asking about
candidates
' personal details is
employees
 can get to know more about the person.
For instance
, hobbies and interests can show the personality of
candidates
 whether they are an introvert who enjoys reading alone on their couch in their free time or an extrovert who likes to go party every night.
Additionally
, marital status can
also
 roughly indicate how much time they need to spend on their personal matters,
such
 as do they need to leave at 5pm for picking up their children from school.
On the other hand
, many people believe that personal information is irrelevant and can lead to bias.
Employees
 should look for people who have the ability to perform the job well and make a decision based on only their work-related experiences and skills. Regardless of who
candidates
 are or what their interests are, they should still have an opportunity for a job if they have enough skills and be able to manage their personal and work lives well. In conclusion, I believe that during the recruiting process,
employees
 should focus more on the technical and soft skills required for the job.
However
, hobbies and other personal information
also
 help
employees
 to understand more about
candidates
' personalities.
