“What do you do?” It’s a simple question, one that we all get asked all the time. Have you ever met someone at a party or networking event that seemed unsure when you asked what they did for a living?
What impression did that leave on you? This makes people seem insecure and untrustworthy. I was a networking event recently and i asked a women what she did, when she was telling me, she dropping her head back, squeezed her eyes together and opened them when she was done, at first i thought nothing of it, but then i noticed she did it every time someone asked her what she did. This was obviously an unconscious reaction to the question of ‘what do you do’
