Looking for work in a new city? Make your local search count

Define the work you can realistically take

List the roles you can do, the hours you are available and the areas you can reach. A higher advertised salary may not be better if the commute is expensive or the shift finishes after your last transport option. Compare take-home pay and likely costs, not just the headline number.

Liev supports job posts for different arrangements, including full-time, part-time, daily-wage and contract work. The right fit depends on your skills and circumstances. Treat the city feed and relevant groups as additional ways to hear about openings alongside employers’ own channels and other job-search services.

Read the role before you apply

Look for a description of the actual duties, work location, pay, schedule and application deadline. If something important is missing, ask a focused question. ‘Is this a fixed monthly salary or does it depend on completed deliveries?’ is more useful than ‘Details please.’

Separate the employer’s stated requirements from preferences. Be honest about the skills and experience you have. If the role involves travel, equipment or a licence, clarify who provides what and whether any costs are deducted from pay before you proceed.

Make your application easy to understand

On Liev, job openings can include an application flow with your details and a resume attachment. Use the information requested for that role, and check your contact details before submitting. If you attach a resume, keep it readable on a phone and give the file a clear name.

A short introduction should connect your experience to the work. For example: ‘I have handled customer enquiries in a retail shop for a year, speak Hindi and English, and can work the listed afternoon shift.’ Adapt this example to your real experience; do not add skills simply because they appear in the listing.

• Name the role you are applying for.
• Mention relevant experience, training or practical skills.
• State your availability and realistic joining date.
• Attach only relevant documents and avoid unnecessary sensitive information.

Verify the employer and the offer

A familiar profile or a shared home district is a useful conversation starter, not proof of a genuine job. Check the business name, workplace and contact details through independent sources where possible. Ask who will interview you and what the hiring steps involve.

Be cautious about demands for money to secure an interview, release an offer or unlock wages. Never share an OTP, PIN or banking password. Read written pay and employment terms before accepting, and report a suspicious job post through the app. Liev does not guarantee employment or the accuracy of every member’s listing.

Keep a simple record and follow up thoughtfully

Record the role, employer, date applied and any next step. This prevents confusion when several people reply at once and helps you notice duplicate or inconsistent listings. Save a copy of the details you relied on when applying.

If the employer provides a timeline, respect it. Otherwise, one polite follow-up after a reasonable interval is usually clearer than repeated daily messages. Keep building your local network by contributing useful information too; a community works best when people both ask and help.
