Subject:
<p>Never underestimate the joy people derive from hearing something they already know. - Enrico Fermi</p> <p>Keep your talk at a simple level, much simpler than you would think.  You should be embarrassed to say such simple concepts in front of a bunch of physics PhDs.</p> <p>Have your talk rehearsed and never, ever go over the time that they tell you that you should speak.  That is a cardinal sin for a job talk.</p> <p>When you introduce the topic, explain why you are excited about it.  They will appreciate hearing your take on it instead of the same boiler plate explanation they have seen a million times.</p> <p>Keep the number of words per page low.  </p> <p>When you show each figure, carefully explain each axis before talking about the plot.</p> <p>Starting from a high level (birds-eye view), slowly zoom in on what you actually did and explain its impact on the physics.  If possible, show pictures of yourself doing the thing you did.</p> <p>At the end show that you are forward looking and give your take on the future of the field and your role in it if you plan on continuing in the same field.</p> <p> </p> Encoding: HTML ELCode plain Suppress Email notification Resubmit as new entry
