Rising Stars 2020: Job Talk Starts Preparation

Over the course of the two-day workshop, there will be 4 Job Talk Starts sessions, each with 7 or 8 Zoom rooms per session.  There will be 4 to 5 presenters per room plus faculty mentors and support staff.

During these sessions:

• You can present slides along with your talk via desktop sharing on Zoom

• You will receive feedback from faculty mentors and participants for 5 minutes following your talk

• You can record your individual Job Talk Start presentation and feedback session yourself through Zoom (we will not be recording this for you)
