Honesty at Work
- Be honest if you don't know how to do something at work, rather than doing it wrong.
- It's okay to not know everything, especially when starting a new job.
Asking for Help Effectively
- Clearly state what you can't do, what you've tried, and what help you need.
- Use phrases like "I'm unsure about...", "I don't understand how to...", or "I'm at a loss as to how to...".
Demonstrate Effort
- Explain what steps you've already taken to solve the problem before asking for help.
- This shows initiative and saves time by avoiding redundant suggestions.
