The Unasked Question Is the Most Foolish One

Whether you are a young worker taking on your first real job or you’ve been in the workforce for years but are starting a new job, you probably have plenty of questions.

You may be wondering about overall workplace morale and whether it’s a friendly place to work. Perhaps you have questions about the opportunities for advancement, or a transfer to another company branch.

Good Questions to Ask

• Is there a safety rules booklet available to me?
• Will I undergo an orientation to my new workplace?
• Will I be adequately trained in what to do and what not to do in my job?
• Will I be able to attend regular safety meetings?
• Will I be shown what to do during an emergency, such as a fire?
• What is the company’s policy on workers reporting unsafe conditions?
