Questions/Discussion Items to Consider

• What aspect of the academic job talk are you personally most anxious about? Is it the talk itself, the preparation, the graphics, the Q&A afterwards?
• What are two things you can do now to address the above issues?
• What advice have you heard from other postdocs who have been in the job search that would be most relevant to the people at this chat?
