How to use Quora answers without getting misled

Not every answer is equal. Before you act on advice, check these things: who wrote the answer (experience matters), whether they give concrete steps or just opinions, and if claims match official sources like government immigration pages or recognized company sites. If an answer promises guaranteed jobs or asks for fees upfront, treat it as a red flag.

Quick checklist: verify the author’s background, cross-check key facts, look for dates (job markets change fast), and search the same topic on trusted job boards. Doing this takes two minutes and saves a lot of hassle.

Short, actionable tips from top questions

Data entry & typing gigs: Legit work exists but scams do too. Avoid any job that requires an upfront payment. Look for verified client reviews, ask for a short paid test, and prefer platforms that hold payment in escrow. Improve your chances by boosting typing speed, learning basic spreadsheet skills, and keeping a neat portfolio of sample tasks.

Freelancing as a data-entry worker: Start with small, reliable platforms and build ratings. Set clear terms (delivery time, file format, revision limit). Charge per hour or per project—compare typical rates on the platform you use and don’t underprice just to win the first gig.

Getting jobs abroad (Canada, Netherlands, Dubai): Tailor your resume to local expectations—use clear role-based accomplishments, include relevant keywords, and remove unrelated details. Network on LinkedIn and industry groups, contact recruiters who specialize in your field, and consider short, recognized courses that match the market you want. If the country requires language skills, start learning the basics early.

Applying to startups in India: Use niche sites like AngelList and CutShort, follow company pages, and message founders or hiring managers directly with a short note about why you fit. For startups, fit and attitude often matter more than a perfect resume.

Naukri.com paid services: Paid options can boost visibility but don’t expect instant results. Use paid features to get more employer views, but also invest time in improving your resume and applying selectively to roles that match your profile.
