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

Whenever applying for a job, personal information becomes one of the

data

needs in the resume for the

company

's use.

However

, there are some applicants does not think personal

data

are essential for the

employer

. There are actually two different opinions regarding the over expose

data

to employers one hand agree it is useful and the other hand thinks the opposite. It is useful as employers can consider the applicants' situation. At the same time, it can be useless because usually employers just think about

company

performance rather than their employees' benefits. On the positive side, giving out personal

data

can be helpful for the

employer

to consider the applicants' job scope and work schedule. Since married people need to balance work and home responsibilities.

For example

, an

employer

of a particular

company

reconsiders married men or women from working overtime as they

also

need to focus on their married life and their children.

Hence

,

this

would help them from being over-whelmed and save more marriage life. Contrastly, the individual's hobbies, status and interest can be useless as the

employer

does not really interested in them and just focus on their

skills

and experiences since those can really help with the

company

's development.

For instance

, Petronas, one of the big companies' priorities skilful and experienced which can be a force for the

company

to improve.

Thus

,

this

actually makes only those people with their wanted

skills

will be employed. To summarise, self-interest and hobbies can be useless or useful depending on how the

employer

analyses the application. In my opinion, I disagree with the statement since most the

company

even the influence

company

more focus on

skills

rather than our interests.

Therefore

, the

company

should emphasise the

skills

that they want in their employees.
