Short answer: You don't.

You do all that before initializing your object

Console.WriteLine("Enter your first name");
var firstName - Console.ReadLine();
Console.WriteLine("Enter your last name");
var lastName = Console.ReadLine();
Console.WriteLine("Your full name is " + firstName + " " + lastName);

Employee obj = new Employee()
{ 
    firstName = firstName,
    lastName = lastName
 }
 Console.ReadKey();
