In a recent job interview, the interviewer asked me what my ideal work environment would look like.

I said somewhere where I could ask questions. She asked me to explain, so I went on to say I'm someone who doesn't hesitate to ask questions, especially if it helps me get somewhere.

Imagine my shock when she was fascinated that this is something I'd look for in a workplace. I mean, to me this is normal. But she had never even thought about it before, and went on to ask what kind of questions I'd ask, etc etc.

I didn't get the job, but I hope they can learn to create a great environment where everyone is comfortable to ask questions and continue learning.
