| May 25, 2021 at 21:12 | comment | added | Job_September_2020 | @Adam, That is the good news. She is willing to help you, and you are willing to improve. Keep trying and you will get better. Good luck. :-) | |
| May 25, 2021 at 21:10 | comment | added | Adam | @Job_September_2020 In our meeting today she mentioned the last thing you said actually. Sometimes she would send an email about it or do it herself, but she realized the latter wouldn't help me improve. She never has directly told me I am under performing, just she expects more in the new few months since I'm past the new hire stage. She has offered to help me figure out a plan, so I may take up that offer. | |

| May 25, 2021 at 20:53 | comment | added | Adam | @PhilipKendall I think it was just certain times when I said just a simple "no." I like to think I'm empathetic and know that a sorry is good, I just don't want to say sorry and not do anything about it. I always try to correct my mistakes. | |
| May 25, 2021 at 20:45 | comment | added | Donald | @numenor - I am not sure I agree; If asked a question during an interview, that cannot be answered with a simple "yes" or "no" answer, you should probably, answer the question with more than a single word. It sounds like the author should work on their communication skills, their supervisor, is the best person to provide specific feedback on what they need to work on specifically. | |

| May 25, 2021 at 20:40 | comment | added | numenor | It's perfectly valid to answer with simple yes and no in job interviews, and wait for further questions before volunteering more information. So I don't think that this in itself would be a problem. | |
