Striking a conversation(Job Series):04

(Photo source:pexels.com)

In jobs, you will have assignments to work in a team. Sometimes, the team will be well-known to you. Working in such an environment is not that difficult. Then, sometimes, the teammates will be strangers. As an employee working on government assignments, we are frequently sent to places never seen in life and meet people totally strangers. Working in such places with such unknown people, you will feel yourself in strange waters. But, others are also bound by their duty and so, somehow things get by. Sometimes, it is an exceptional experience and most of the time, it is just below average which leaves a hell of a scare. In private jobs, you will not have such experiences at least with the teammates.

In such situations, you have to quickly establish a workable relationship. For that matter, you have to be flexible, kind and humble. While striking up a conversation, you can start with a regular job description and slowly discuss their family background. Sometimes, people do not like to share but most of the time people want to talk about their places, homes and family. Their facial expressions light up. You cannot expect someone to be a hardcore expert on international affairs which you see all the time in your YouTube playlist. 

Generally, experience plays an important role in developing such social skills. If somebody is from a farming family, you can ask about farming in their local area. It is just a template. You have to keep on improvising while talking with different members of the team. Off late, we limit ourselves to our domain. As one progresses, one has to develop some workable knowledge of finance, politics, technology, history, culture, local area, geography etc. 

While striking the conversation, you should not be someone who knows everything and delivers sermons. Rather than developing a rapport, it will repel people and make you a laughing stock. There should be a subtle touch.
