Folks on the academic job market: While there are many great guides about interviewing, probably not a lot cover "virtual" remote interviews, which you will soon be doing. Here are some thoughts based on my own experience winging it in 2020. Thread. 1/
CHEAT SHEETS: You might end up speaking with 50-100 previously unknown professors during the interview season, so it's natural to not always remember who's who. In remote interviews, they can't see what's on your desk! You can keep notes to jog your memory during transitions. 2/
JOB TALKS 1: This is your chance to show off your presentation and teaching skills. Stand up if you can and make sure you are clearly visible. @dkohlbre's @uwcse talk is an excellent example of using a portrait camera to fill the sidebar. 3/
JOB TALKS 2: If using Zoom, play with the config to make sure you can see the names of people asking you questions during your talks. I had some instances where I couldn't tell who asked what, and then was caught off guard in subsequent 1-on-1s. 4/
PREP 1: Stay hydrated and well fed. Stretch out / walk during breaks. Full-day interviews are TIRING. Keep some easily-microwavable lunch ready—I used to order takeout the previous night. Choose a meal that won't ruin your fancy clothes if you spill some of it. 5/
PREP 2: Plan ahead about possible disturbances, especially if you live with family or roommates. I had apartment maintenance going on during one of my interviews.

BREAKS: The lack of walking from office-to-office makes it harder to casually take bathroom breaks, etc. Insist on taking a few minutes between meetings if they are not already part of your schedule. Also a great time to glance through those notes!! 7/
OUTFIT: Wear pants. 8/fin
