I went to the Career Exploration workshop entitled “Small Talk” last week and it pretty much was exactly how it sounded. The speaker was just talking about the importance of small talk in business since it showed a quick glimpse of your personality, especially that you’re sociable, and was a very casual way of aquainting with people. Making small talk, the speaker said, can sometimes make or break the situation since someone who will show the effort to strike up a small conversation will stand out in the minds of employers, coworkers, and customers more than someone who is quiet and bland. The workshop was actually pretty insightful and gave good examples of the importance of small talk and how to do it. I’d recommend this workshop to others.
