Employers sometime 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 opinion.
It is argued by many that enquiry of
candidate
’s personal details
especially for employment purposes is a positive aspect, however
, many disagree with this
notion. In my opinion, all such
information helps the company to understand the job
applicants better and offer them a job
that is
aligned with their personalities.
To begin
with, information related to personal life matters a lot in explaining the overall well-being of the candidate
. If someone has unfortunate personal circumstances, it would be quite difficult for him to successfully carry out the job
responsibilities. Similarly
, many jobs require late sittings and work beyond routine hours thus
such
roles also
demand effort from the employees. It helps the employer to develop the job
role according to the nature of the employee for example
most of the cabin crew jobs in airlines require females who are unmarried; it helps such
airlines to ensure that the cabin crew can perform their duties free from personal matters at home.
On the other hand
, certainly
it is discrimination to judge someone based on personal Add a comma
,certainly
details
. It is the right of the candidate
to be judged on his or her qualification and performance in job
interviews job interviews
rather than on information Remove the redundancy
apply
that is
beyond his control. Equal opportunity employers always prefer the credentials of the applicant instead
of his hobbies or marital status. In addition
, employees’ performance is typically based on commitment and understanding of the job
duties instead
of their personal matters. In Pakistan ,usually
the jobs in banks do not ask candidates to provide personal Add a comma
,usually
details
because it does not help candidates to perform their usual banking tasks.
In conclusion, I completely align with the notion that companies should require the personal details
of job
applicants. Not only, it helps the employer to understand the candidate
but also
offers the right role as per the candidate
's personality.Submitted by yacirzmail on
