When applying for a job, employees are often asked to provide personal information such as their hobbies, marital status, nationality, or even the number of children they have. While some people believe that this data helps employers understand candidates better, others hold the opinion that it is unnecessary and could be a main reason for discrimination. On the one hand, collecting personal information could be essential to understanding workers' personalities and characters better, and to provide comfort and break up shyness and stress. For instance, a person who enjoys team sports may be seen as more cooperative and able to work in groups better than individually. As for the family status of a person, it would be helpful to understand if the person can travel on business or work a full-time job. In some places, the salary of employees depends on the number of children they have. On the other hand, such personal information may be used in negative and violent ways and may lead to discrimination, especially in a world where feminism is not developed at the right level. To illustrate, a woman who is married and has children may be judged as "does not have enough time" or "could not pay attention to work at all," even if she is highly qualified. From my perspective, personal details should not be part of employing people unless they are directly relevant to the profession. Employers should focus only on the work skills of individuals rather than private data. In conclusion, while some individuals believe that personal details can help to develop a working atmosphere, I strongly believe that asking for private details should be avoided.
