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

Sharing personal

information

in a job interview has become quite common these days. It may support the hiring managers to get an idea about the personality of the
