So (name),...

Use this phrase when you want to start talking to a certain person at a party or social event.

At parties, people might begin by talking in a large group, but usually break into smaller groups of two or three people to talk for a while. Asking one person in the group a question that starts with "So (name),..." is a great way to begin a conversation.

what do you do?

"What do you do?" is a question that adults almost always ask each other when they meet. The question means "What is your job?", but no one directly asks "What is your job?"
