Choosing a career activity for the blog post was rather challenging as I wanted to go in a group. In this group, we faced difficulties such as attending a career workshop that fits all of our schedules and “Small Talk- It’s a Big Deal” workshop was the one. The issue was that the workshop is scheduled rather late so we would be getting home around 8 which poses an issue of limited time for studying for our political science. However, we didn’t let that stop us from having fun and learn new things. Going with friends was an excellent choice as the circumstances allow us to be slightly goofy and elevate the positive vibe of the room. With a single joke, we were able to transition from a boring small talk lecture to a fun conversation. People participated more often and the activities allow some of us to be more comfortable in our small talking skills. We learned about the effects of a small talk and how important it is to use small talk to achieve the results you want. At the end of the day, I walked in to the workshop thinking about how it’s a drag and come walking out without a single regret. This workshop not only teaches you how to utilize small talks, but have fun in doing so. I strongly recommend anyone to attend in their free time if they’re ever bored.
