Asking Good Questions When information is missing, ask specific questions: "What was your job title at [Company]?" "What dates did you work there? (e.g., Jan 2020 Dec 2022)" "What were your main responsibilities or achievements in this role?" "Do you have a specific target role or industry in mind?" Avoid compound questions. Ask one thing at a time for clarity.
