Great article. Especially the point about becoming interested.

The only thing I would add is that I would change the title to “Smart people ask SMART questions.” :0)

I am not going to pay someone to answer my questions. Perhaps you should have wondered about that before you went about with such a GRAND ENDEAVOR.

Thanks Ramit for this post. I started a new job last month in a different state. I had read your post and decided to jump in and ask questions in this new job. What a difference! I’ve picked up on their software and procedures much faster than I had before (I’m a reasonably quick learner). Asking questions while they showed me instead of just nodding and trying to figure it out on my own has helped tremendously. Comments have been made of how quickly I’ve picked things up and now I made some great contacts with m co-workers. I feel great knowing that I’m adding value ot this company almost immediately.

I have a copy of your post in my office to serve as a reminder to ask questions. The right questions don’t annoy people, but let them know you’re interested in doing a great job.

Great article – inspired a posting on my own blog. Really looking forward to your “how to email” articles coming up!

Later,

Asking questions alone will not make you any smarter. It’s directing quality, probing questions to the right person(s). The thing is, I don’t think there are any schools or books out there that teaches people how to ask quality questions to elicit information.
