SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:International Students Career Series: How to Navigate Small Talk
DESCRIPTION:In the United States\, many people participate in what is called small talk\, where they make conversation with strangers or acquaintances about non-controversial topics\, such as the weather\, sports\, or popular television shows. Small talk is one of the ways in American cultureto chat about harmless topics to establish a connection and start to build a friendship.For example\, while waiting for an interview\, in line at a M-Den\, or an elevator on campus\, don’t be startled if a stranger says something to you like\, “Did you watch the Football Game last night? What a game!” They might also make a joke about the long line you’re both in\, or comment on the current situation.This workshopis open to all students\, so if you are interested in learning more aboutsmall talk\, now it’s your chance to sign up.
