Discuss both these views and give your opinion.

Answer:
These days, When the ( a) job application is filled, several employers ask(question) personal information like hobbies, martial status about the employee. This had(has) becomes a standard practice for the employers in the recent days. Even though it had become a mandatory step to be performed by the job seekers(even though its a mandatory requirements from job seekers), many thinks that collecting such information is still an irrelevant task. We will discuss few examples to draw a conclusion on this( before sides are being analyzed below before reaching a reasoned conclusion).

From the employers view point, collecting personal informations like hobbies, interests will be relevant and useful to match their job description(to determine how well they fit into company's environment). Also, it will help them to set a carrier path for the employee or the job seeker in longer run. For example, if the job seeker had given his or her interest in Human resource field, the organisation or the employer can set a well defined carrier path or find appropiate job roles within the organisation for the employee. Thus collecting informations like job seeker's interests will be relevant and useful for both employers and for the job seekers.

The above paragraph is clearly out of topic. Personal information is not asked for career fit. You should have discussed how personal information like hobbies help to match chemistry of a new person with the company.

On the other hand,collecting personal information like martial (Please check spellings) status from the job seekers is ( considered as ) completely irrelevant. For example, if the job seeker's martial status is widow, the employer can do nothing about it with this information. Collecting such information from the job seeker can also affect their personal feelings in this particular case. Since employer can't use this information effectively for the job requirements, collecting such information is completely irrelevant.

To conclude, collecting personal informations from the job seekers has many advantages than disadvantages. Employers who really wants to groom their employee should collect personal informations like hobbies, interest from the job seekers. However, getting informations like martial status from the job seekers is completely irrelevant to the employers as we had discussed.

When a job application is created, some employers ask for personal information like hobbies, marital status, etc. This has become a standard practice for employers in recent times. Even though it has become a mandatory step for job seekers, many think that collecting such information is still an irrelevant task. This essay will discuss some examples before drawing a conclusion on this.

From the employers viewpoint, collecting personal information like hobbies and interests will be relevant and useful to match their job description. Also, it will help them to set a career path for the employee in the long run.
