Nomophobia might sound all fancy but a lot of people around the world are suffering from it and probably someone right next to you or perhaps you could be suffering from this irrational fear of losing your cell phone!
Yes, nomophobia is the fear of losing your mobile phone and aren’t we all nomophobes in some way?
How often have you skipped a heart beat when you realized that your cell phone wasn’t in your pocket? Or how often have you frantically tried to get a signal on your phone and in the process you went all ‘lion king’ on it?
A recent study has shown that people now spend an average of 160 minutes every day on their mobile phone!
That’s more than 2.5 hours spent browsing through Facebook or playing Temple Run!
And that’s more than 2.5 hours of wasted productivity too unless you are playing some brain games on your phone.
The point here is that mobile phones can be a boon or a bane, what matters is the way you look at it!
Here you have something in the palm of your hand which is more powerful than the first rocket that went into space! Imagine the possibilities of what you can do with something this powerful.
The internet is an endless source of education, knowledge and learning and when coupled with something extremely handy and portable like a mobile phone, you have instant access to all the knowledge in the world.
So the next time when you are about to check your Facebook or about to play a game on your cell phone, think about the power and the knowledge that you hold in your hand!
Everything is just one touch or swipe away!

The world is all about internet and related activities and social media is more or less like a virtual world to most of us. We socialize, we explore, we do everything that we can on this amazing platform and literally spend over 60% of our day browsing through the various platforms.
Although social media offers limitless possibilities and there is so much that can be done if one harnesses the power it provides us. There is a whole new world out there for a recruiter. As an employer one can easily make sure that they come across the right set of resources without having to set up long queues of candidates outside their doors.
Here are some tips that can come in handy when you go through the various social media platforms searching for potential candidates that fit in the profile that you are searching candidates for.
Search at the right places
Half the work is reduced if you start by searching at the right places. There is no point in searching for professionals on portals that have a minimal chance of housing resources of that nature. It is always beneficial to do your share of research before devoting your time to a particular portal.
Build a quality network
It has always been quality over quantity and it will always be that way. The number of connections you have matter but what matters more is that how many of these connections are actually beneficial. How many of the professionals that you have connected with are worth your time and effort? Always look forward to building a network full of quality individuals rather than just adding random people.
The power of LinkedIn
LinkedIn, if you haven’t heard of it then you are still living in the Stone Age, if you have then let me give you a tip for achieving maximum efficiency while using this platform to hire professionals.
It is not a social media network meant to socialize with people that you find pretty, it is a professional networking portal, so treat it that way. Connect with people that have the right skills and do that on a regular basis, not just when you want to hire.
This will help you in finding the right match quicker than expected.
