What are things to clarify/ask questions about or things I shouldn't ask questions about when it comes to completing work tasks as a new-grad beginning my career? I am so worried that if I ask the wrong question or don't ask the right question, that I will screw something up.

Never be afraid. Whether you have background knowledge or not, ask questions all the time. You are new at the job place and getting the job is a Win! Of course, you are not experienced but it's always refreshing to hear new perspectives. My advice is to think 3-5-10 steps ahead. When you propose a solution have a framework to involve the right teams. Be confident and execute effectively. I found 'fake it until you make it' helpful at times.

I am always concerned about asking the wrong questions or not asking the right questions when it comes to completing work tasks. To ensure that I am not missing anything important, I always take a few minutes to review the instructions and clarify any questions that I have with my supervisor or team. Additionally, I try to avoid asking questions that could be easily found in the instructions, as this can be a waste of everyone’s time.
