One of the problems can be to find the best questions to ask.
My son asked the best question after about 10 days: When is it going to go back to normal?
"Ah, now that is the best question I've heard so far," she said.
Later on he said, "If you want people to project what they think about themselves today, that's the best question to ask."
It was the best question she could muster at the moment.
All I've tried to do is ask the best questions I could think of, listen to the answers, and then follow up.
She did not ask the best questions and he wondered at this.
He would choose what he thought were the best questions and use those in the interview.
Instead, the best questions usually focus on the consequences of the result-what should we be seeing if this is right?
That may be the best question for all of them, considering the many reasons to throw in the towel.
