Situation #1 Networking
You are new to the department and you have been invited to go out with some coworkers to the bar on Friday night after work.  You find it difficult to manage conversation given the noise in a lot of bars. Additionally, you are not a drinker, and you really don’t want to go. What would you say in this situation?

Situation #6-Networking
You are not very inclined to join in on small talk because 1) you don’t care for it, 2) you don’t know what you could ask about or talk about, and 3) the speed at which you have to process and think of a witty response is too intimidating. How can you get comfortable using small talk to benefit long term?

I will approach them and then say to them, "Excuse me, I am working on something important here. Would you please keep the noise down? Thank you."

Dear Professor,

I hope you are in a good condition.

I understand that this task is highly important. However, I have been assigned earlier tasks with the same deadlines. Unfortunately, I have not finished them yet. Thus, I kindly ask if you could give me some more time so I can work on it thoroughly?

Your understanding is highly appreciated.

Thank you and I wish you have a peaceful day.

Best regards,

XXXX

Dear team,

Thank you so much for the invitation. I am so excited about joining this department and I am looking forward to working with you. Though I really want to join you today. Unfortunately, I just moved in this new place and I still have a lot of things to settle down. I rarely go to bar but I am happy to join you next time.

Best,

Dash, Hoa, Sharper
