[Poscgrad] Practice Job Talks etc.

[Indridi H. Indridason]

Hi,

This is primarily for those of you who are on the job market this fall.  
If you are interested in doing a practice job talk, let me know so that 
I can put a schedule together.  I know that at least one of you has 
expressed an interest in doing one.

Typically, people do additional practice talks once they have been 
invited for an interview (and then often organized by your advisor), but 
there is no such requirement here.  The main idea is that practice makes 
perfect, and putting your first job talk together in a couple of weeks 
before you go on an interview is not always ideal - the stress levels 
may be a bit high.  All of you have probably presented at conferences 
before, but the job talk format (mostly in terms of length) is slightly 
different, and getting used to giving longer presentations of your work 
is also not a bad idea. At any rate, if you are interested, let me know 
and, maybe, give me a sense of when you think you would be ready to give 
one.

If you have any other job market related things you would like to talk 
about, feel free to get in touch.  Or, if you feel like another meeting 
on Zoom... let me know.

And, once again, if you applications materials you would like feedback 
on, go ahead and send them my way.

Best,

i
