Family Details - Jpg Download

Is it importatnt or relevant to ask Family details during Personal Interview?
As per me how does one's family background is relevant in candidate's current education or profile
Please comment.....

Dear Gunjan,
Company recruits human not machines. Family details help an Interviewer to know about Candidate background, upbringing, and his social life which is very important. E.g. if a candidate's all family members are well educated, the candidate is also perceived to be of good educational values.
Also these general questions help a candidate to come in a comfortable zone & also enhance the Interview discussion.
As per my view, this question is both relevant and important. An Interviewer can't simply ask technical questions. Candidate's way of representing his family also depicts the pride he has for his family & his way of expression towards his life.
Please note, above are my thoughts. Others may have a different opinion.

Dear All.... Dis is for U I hope dat dis will help U ? to knw ur value

KNOW UR Value....!

A well-known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a Rupee 500 note.

In the room of 200, he asked, "Who would like this Rupee 500 note?"

Hands started going up. He said, "I am going to give this note to one of you

but first let me do this." He proceeded to crumple the note up.

He then asked, "Who still wants it?"

Still the hands were up in the air.

"Well," he replied, "What if I do this?" And he dropped it on the ground and

started to grind it into the floor with his shoe. He picked it up, now all

crumpled and dirty. "Now who still wants it?"

Still the hands went into the air.

"My friends, you have all learned a very valuable lesson.

No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not

decrease in value. It was still worth Rupee 500/-.

Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt

by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way. We feel as

though we are worthless.

But no matter what has happened or what will happen, you will never lose

your value.

You are special. Don't ever forget it! Never let yesterday's disappointments overshadow tomorrow's dreams.

" VALUE HAS A VALUE ONLY IF ITS VALUE IS VALUED



Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional

All da best.

Hi Gunjan,
Beginning an interview with things that are familiar to the person being interviewed lets him get relaxed. Unless, the person has a troubled past, he will get comfortable and be confident while answering queries. The interviewer should be able to spot whether he is unconfortable answering personal questions and should stop and ask other relevant questions.
For me, it is important to ask about the family background as it lets me judge why the person wants the job. It lets me guage if s/he is responsible towards her/his family - this trait can well be used to the advantage of the company. Family background, members in family, upbringing, schooling, etc. let you see the candidate from the Organizations fitment perspective and can be very usefull.

Asking personal questions about family is none of HRs business and better you HR people keep off from asking personal questions to candidates ,

Even if a persons parents are not educated , but if they took pains to educate the child then might be you will feel that since the person s parents are not educated we should not give the job to them,

We read in newspaper that sons of labourers, workers, cobblers have topped the exams, and its a proud thing for their parents, and in the interview, when you foolish HRs ask the question about family details , and the candidate tells that his parents are uneducated doing petty business, like labourer, or rickshaw driver, your stupid mind starts thinking in negative, and then you reject the candidates,

people like you ,, inspite of getting good education you yourself are unfit for this society and you are given the job of selecting whether the candidate is suitable / fit for the company or not.

so where does it help u dear when u reject a candidate on the basis of family background, shame on u people, ,you will repent for your wrong doings,,

the above post specially for arti to learn something about life and to understand the purpose of your life.

and dont know how do you HR people assume that you are making a candidate comfortable by asking personal questions ,
this is ridiculous,
have you done any research on it, are there any research people here who can state the facts that asking personal questions makes candidate comfortable,
you are just like a herd of goats, follow the leader,

Dear Gunjan,
Ofcourse,this will leads to candidates attitude contribution and when you ask about family the candidates become friends and while talking you can determine his/her communication skill and how he/she is explaining.
There is two benefits for family discussion:
1.way of talking,explaining power,communication skills easily determine.
2.Candidate felt comfortable to talk about family and he/she has good awareness about family and you can judge the skills of employees.
We used to capture vedio recording of all candidates and one of our expert catch the behavious of the candidate and give 20% rating on this.
