A short conversation is an important part of everyone’s job life. Nowadays, people mostly talk in the English language because English has become a universal language and it opens up more opportunities for quite literally everything. Talking about conversations, the first day at the office or your job is very exciting and equally important for everyone. All that gush of excitement and nervousness is the mark of the first day at the job. As the day is quite important for everyone, it is important for you to seize the day.

Why is the first day at the job considered to be so important?
The basic reason is that it is on the first day at your job when you get to create the first impression in front of your boss and your colleagues too. It shows your communication skills, your personality, your way of talking and doing things, and what kind of a person you are. Are you an introvert, an extrovert, or an ambivert?
What can you do to have the best short conversation on your first day?
The first thing you would want to do is to greet the person you will be talking with. After greeting, start by introducing yourself and what position you will be working in the office. Try to have a light and short conversation on the first day. This will show that you are an easy-to-go person and easy to talk with.

Let’s get a better understanding of having a short conversation this through an example:
It is John’s first day at the office and he is excited yet nervous to break the ice. But he will have to have a conversation with a colleague. To start with, he has a short conversation with a colleague named Kevin who works at the opposite desk of John.
John: Hello Kevin, myself John. I have joined this company and it is my first day today.
Kevin: Oh, hi John, it is good to meet you and have you here. Congratulations on this job.
John: Thank you so much! Since when are you working at this company?
Kevin: I am working over here for the past 5 years and it is going great until now!
John: 5 years! That’s a pretty good time!
Kevin: Yes, it is and I hope to see you every day now being my colleague and a friend too!
John: Absolutely! It is going to be great working with you. I’ll see you in a while!
Kevin: Yeah, absolutely! See ya!
This was a short example of a conversation you can have on your first day at the job. It will create a good impression in front of your colleagues!
