Five apps to boost your career

Date:

New Delhi: On one fine Sunday morning, the phone rings. It was a call from an unknown number.  I picked it up hoping for it to bring some good news.

“Sir, we are calling from a placement agency, your CV has been shortlisted. Are you looking for a job change?” said a female voice from the other end.

I kept wondering what made them call me on Sunday. But this mystery was solved soon after the call ended when I received a text message: “Hope our call helped in finding you a job. Thank You for subscribing to our app.”
