Politely Asking About Profession
- Instead of asking "What is your job?", which can be perceived as impolite, use a more considerate phrase.
- Ask "What do you do for a living?" to inquire about someone's profession.
Target Audience for Job Questions
- "What do you do for a living?" specifically targets someone's job or career.
- Avoid using this with individuals unlikely to be employed, such as young people.
