Activity: Exploring My Community Resource Map

Now that you’ve watched the “Breaking the Habit of Small Talk" TEDx video, reviewed relevant job postings, and subscribed and started to read industry-relevant posts, we invite you to create your own thoughtful and informed open-ended questions. 

Activity: Develop a list of conversation starters. 

Here are a few examples from the book, Five For Your First Five: Own Your Career and Life After College (McWilliams, 2017) that you could also adopt or revise—adapt the questions to be authentic for you and appropriate for the situation: 

• "What is the biggest lesson you've learned about leadership and how did you learn it?" (p.124) 
• "What is the greatest challenge or hurdle you have tried to overcome and what did you do?" (p. 124) 
• "When was the last time you were surprised by something/someone? What happened?" (p. 124) 
• "How are you taking ownership for your career development?" (p. 13) 
• "How do you build skills and experiences that will benefit you in the future..?" (p. 3)
