Do you Listen?

How well do you listen? If you aren't a good listener, you probably aren't a great conversationalist, and that means that networking events and interviews over meals are probably a nightmare for you.

Well, next time you meet someone new, ask questions instead of talking about yourself. Here are some questions suggested by Culture and Manners Institute.

• Are you a native of this place?
• Where are you from originally?
• What do you do for a living?
• How did you get into that line of work?
• What do you like best about your job?

Now, listen to their answers and ask questions based on their answers.
