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 disagree. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion

Some managers request the applicants to provide them with some personal
info

at the time of recruitment; some people believe that
this

deed can be beneficial for managers, and
such
Linking Words
data can be utilised in an appropriate way in the workplace.
However
Linking Words
, some individuals disagree with
this
Linking Words
notion. In the following paragraphs, I am going to elucidate both viewpoints and state my own opinion. Beyond the shadow of a doubt, some of the recruits’ private data can be beneficial for bosses in
such
Linking Words
a way that not only can bosses get more familiar with their employee’s interests and abilities, but these workers can be allocated to a specific section of a project or company based on the gathered data, in which they have more expertise, and
therefore

, can be more productive.
Additionally

, the more employers know about an employee, the more they will be able to provide a suitable job situation for him or her.
For example

, single male workers can work more conveniently in the night shifts compared to either married ones or their female colleagues.
Consequently

, having

for superiors will be advantageous. Concerning the minor sides, transferring private details to the principals of a company can be accompanied by the danger of disclosing
such

details or the possibility for them to fall into the wrong hands.
For instance

, one year ago, the personnel

of a famous company in Iran accidentally was disclosed through a breach in their computers’ security system, and a number of recruits were blackmailed by fraudsters who asked them for money to not publicise their most personal

.
Therefore

, providing personal
information

disclosed, a catastrophe will happen. In my opinion, having a thorough knowledge of workers is essential for principals, inasmuch as managers would have a better understanding of their work culture, employee’s talents and abilities and even likes and dislikes; through
this

knowledge, headmen can provide not only a more comfortable workplace and atmosphere for those who are working for them but
also

a more profitable business for themselves.
Nevertheless
Linking Words
, the confidentiality of
such

information

should be guaranteed by the companies’ headmen.
To sum up

, concerning whether obtaining the personnel’s private

by their headmen is an apt deed or not, both notions have been discussed and my own point of view was presented, which was in agreement with the first idea provided that the secrecy of

is kept.

Word Count

IELTS says that you should write a minimum of 250 words in writing task 2. If you go under word count you will lose marks in task response.

A very long essay will not give you a higher band score.

Aim for between 260 to 290 words in writing task 2. This will ensure a concise essay and will be realistic in terms of time management. You have only 40 minutes to write the essay and you need around 10 minutes of planning time, so you will not be able to write a long essay in 30 minutes.
