Nowadays, many companies demand private information from the applicants, like marital status, preferences and about their interests. Most of the people consider it beneficial for securing a job while others view it unnecessary for getting a position. In this essay, I will discuss both point of view and present my perspective as well.
To begin with, I must say that sharing information before applying for a job is mandatory. Moreover, after observing these details employers will came to know about your qualities apart from education and work experience like working in a group or volunteering some tasks. This will make your profile even more presentable. As far as marital status is concerned, some companies offer extra bonus to the married applicants. For example, my brother got selected for a job in UAE, and they provide him family visa along with medical and residence facilities which is quite more appealing.
Furthermore, opponents believe that its is totally irrelevant to ask people about their personal lives rather than that they should give them a job on the basis of their qualifications. They think that sometimes personal details hinder the person to secure a good position. For instance, many women who want to pursue their career after their marriage got rejected just because they are married. Hence they think that all such decisions should be made on merit basis irrespective to their private life.
Concluding my views, I must say that although i agree that providing personal profile is essential for securing any position just because of showcasing your personality but we could not ignore the qualification and work experience. The above essay has discussed both the views clearly along with my point of view.
