BANGALORE: Just like everyone else in society, job seekers and recruiters have found their lives disrupted by technology. A few years back, a resume and a job interview, and perhaps a good reference, were sufficient to land you a job. But this no longer stands true. Technology has increased competition by facilitating remote working and decreasing the dependency on human resources.

 Nowadays, Smartphones are so much fun that sometimes it can feel like they were made for all play and no work. But your phone has the potential to be a powerful career-boosting piece of technology. Several apps allow you to advance your career while commuting or waiting in line, or before a meeting with just a few swipes.

Let’s have a look at some of the free apps that will help you find your best career:

1. LinkedIn

LinkedIn has become a powerhouse in the job market, and if you aren’t on it, you need to be. Create a profile; add a resume and start connecting with friends, classmates and more. It could very well lead to a job.

If nothing else, this job search app allows users to, of course, look for jobs (sometimes before they’re advertised) and allows employers to look at potential employees, so make sure your profile is updated, professional and informative.
