Once you've been invited to a faculty interview, everyone's ideal scenario is that you rock the interview. You want that AND the search committee wants that. Don't be afraid to ask for what you need to make it happen!
Need to schedule more breaks? Need more info? Ask ask ask
Candidates, it is perfectly okay to ask the inviting department chair (or faculty host) what their interview process entails, and what you should expect through the process. Ask about what seminar/"chalk talk" format works well and not, etc.

This seems like a good time to make sure everyone knows that
@iaincheeseman
rocks, and is the kind of mentor I aspire to be.
This morning, I received an email from my PhD advisor that was so encouraging and kind, it made me tear up a bit.
I finished my PhD almost 14 years ago.
Great mentors are mentors for life. If you’re just starting out, choose your PhD advisor wisely. You deserve a great mentor.

Of course these workshops and panels are in addition to the peer mentorship that is really at the heart of Leading Edge. For ex: today we heard from one of our own, the spectacular
@ChristieTowers
, about giving a virtual chalk talk

💯 For our search
@HSCRB
this year, the department chair will meet with all interview candidates before the interview to discuss what they can expect and how they can put their best foot forward in the seminar/chalk talk etc.
Real talk: If you invite someone for an interview, be transparent about what they should expect. Leaving candidates in the dark will only weaken your recruiting process.

We do this in my course (jr/sr undergrads) and I love it! I do 3 progressive j. clubs: 1) everyone reads the paper + discuss, 2) each group gets a fig and sparse legend and they describe to the class what they think the conclusions were, 3) try to draw the figs from the abstract
For a class, you can hand out a printed abstract of a paper, then have students work in groups to answer “what must the authors have done to be able to write this abstract?” At the end, get together to compare the group outcomes with what they actually did in the paper.
