* It is best to work for as few companies as possible.  

Yes, Right.
Staying with a company isn't always the best bet for everyone, but there are also plenty of things you can do to overcome these difficulties. It makes life a whole lot easier when you pick a company and stick with it. It can be very stressful jumping from company to company, having to meet a whole new department of peers and learning all of the new company’s procedures and preferences. If you stay with one company, you get to know everyone, and you can settle into your position. This way, all of the background tasks become automatic, and you can concentrate on cultivating more important skills. 

great on a resume if the time comes to move on.

Some of the most successful professionals (including some of the highest-earning CEOs in the world) settle down with a company and help build it from the ground up, transforming it into a powerhouse in the process.

Indirect Question & Statements

What's an indirect question?

Indirect questions are a more polite way to ask for information or make requests. We often use them when asking something of strangers or people we do not know well, including coworkers. We also use them when asking for favors from friends or when we want to avoid sounding demanding.

When we make requests in English, we usually use the modal verbs can, could andwould. We also use these modals to begin many indirect questions.

Here are a few common question phrases for indirect questions:

Can/Could you tell me…?
Do you know…?
Would you mind…?
Do you have any idea…?
Would it be possible…?

Forming indirect questions

To form an indirect question, we start with phrases like these. Then, we add direct questions to them, but the word order changes.

Listen to our earlier direct and indirect questions again.

Here’s the direct question:

Where is MacDougal Street?

And the indirect question:

Can you tell me where MacDougal Street is?

You should notice two things about the indirect question:

First, it begins with the phrase “Can you tell me…?” Second, the rest of the question -- where MacDougal Street is -- does not use the verb-subject word order of a normal question. It uses the word order of a statement and it is a noun clause.

So, to form an indirect question, again start with an indirect question phrase, such as “Can you tell me…?”

Then, for information requests, add one of the six question words: where, what, when, who, why or how. We call these “wh-question” words. For example, you heard the word where in “where MacDougal Street is.” 

For example: 

Direct question: Where is the bank?
Indirect question: Could you tell me where the bank is?

I use indirect questions when I'm asking for help in the street, because they are very polite. Indirect questions start with a phrase like 'could you tell me...' or 'do you know...'.
