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, however, disagree and say that employers should not ask for such personal information. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

In the process of

job

application, some

employers

may ask for personal

information

such

as hobbies, marital status, interests and so on. Some individuals argue that these details can be important and pertinent for the

job

,

while

others differ. In

this

essay, I will examine both perspectives. As far as my opinion goes,

employers

should not ask for

such

information

to determine the suitability of an applicant for a

job

position. On the one hand, people who support the inclusion of personal

information

in

job

applications suggest that it allows

employers

to understand a

candidate

's character and suitability for the position.

For instance

, a hobby

such

as playing sports could demonstrate an applicant's ability to work in a team,

while

knowledge of foreign languages could highlight their adaptability and willingness to learn new things.

Additionally

, providing

information

about one's marital status might be useful in jobs that require relocation or long hours, as it could reveal the

candidate

's flexibility and family responsibilities.

On the other hand

, those who argue against including personal

information

in

job

applications believe that it can lead to discrimination and bias. Some

employers

may use

this

information

to make assumptions about the

candidate

's gender, age, or ethnicity, which could result in unfair treatment or a missed opportunity for the applicant.

For instance

, a married female

candidate

may be perceived as less committed and less likely to accept long working hours.

Additionally

, providing personal

information

may not be relevant to the

job

requirements and could be considered an invasion of privacy. In my opinion,

employers

should not ask for personal

information

in

job

applications as it could lead to unfair treatment and bias. Discrimination based on gender, age, ethnicity, or marital status is unacceptable and can prevent highly qualified candidates from being hired. I believe that it is more appropriate to evaluate candidates based on their skills, qualifications, and work experience, rather than their personal

information

. In conclusion,

employers

should focus on evaluating candidates based on their qualifications and work experience rather than their personal

information

.

This

way, the

job

recruitment process would be more transparent and effective.
