Being good at small talk is to be present at the moment.
Being good at job or work is to move fast or reply instantly and tackle the problem without any wait.
You can see based on people’s reply speed… those who reply slow are tend to have lower work capabilities (because they think replying is hard, they choose to reply later) whereas you can just do it on the spot why do you need to wait.
Not being anxious - instead of feeling “how did others know” just put your interest and curiosity into work & actually find out the answer on your own - think “I’m lucky I know this today & the future me will thank me for this”
