8. Asking is Free!

Asking for clarifications or how to do this or how to do that is FREE and it can save your life in the workplace! When you’re new, don’t hesitate to ask questions; but not the obvious questions, okay? Since you’re new, it’s understandable that you don’t completely understand how the office works or the formats that they use in writing letters or creating infographics or writing a report. Being inquisitive is actually a good thing! It doesn’t show that your stupid — quite opposite, in fact! It shows you’re ready to learn and prepared to adapt to the demands of the office. So go! Ask!
