Communication Skills Worksheet: Asking Clear Questions

Interview skills lesson 2: Asking clear questions · Set 141 · 40 questions

Tip (Name exactly what you need): A clear question names exactly what you need: the thing, the date, the number, the step. Open questions start with what, how or why and invite details; closed questions get yes, no or one word — good for confirming a fact. Ask one question at a time, begin politely (“Excuse me, ma’am, …”) and say thank you for the answer.
