How to Ask for Further Instructions
Listen carefully. Make sure to listen attentively when your boss is explaining a task or project. Take detailed notes of all the specifics mentioned, so that you can refer to them and avoid asking what was already said.
Ask immediately. When in doubt over an assignment or faced with a problem, don't ever hesitate to ask for help or clarification. It's better to ask early than to have to start over again.
Respect your boss's time. Be mindful of your boss's time and respect their schedule. Always prepare a list of questions or points that you need to discuss.
Be brief and straightforward. Ask simple, short and informative questions; this will help you avoid time wasting.
