What do you usually talk about when you meet people for the first time?
Actually, I just sometime talk to people for the first time. I'm a introvert. So, I'm so shy to talk with people like that.
when i joined to new company i like my peers there to help me to know the company very well and i will be happy for awesome welcoming from colleagues in other department
i think in the first time the new employee is ashamed to speck with any one and should the old members in company to give him a hand to involve in work quickly
When I meet new people , I try to know him/her and usually talk about the school or sports like footballs teams or in some other situation talk about movie.
Good
Usually, I introduce myself, talk about my expirience and ask about something about the work and company. After, informally, small talk to break the ice ; )
Firstly I introduce by myself and try to talk about some subject is interesting for both...or to start talking about the weather....and give the chat carry on in natural way...
What I talk about with people I meet for the first time dependes on the situation the conversation goes on. If I am at work, I sometimes talk about thing related to it. If am, for example, in a show, I talk about music or the band we are going to watch.
I like to talk about my graet experience en this work and when i´ve been Work
I usually make a little chit chat in the first time moment like what do you work, where do you live or what will you do here.
