   - How to organize multiple papers/projects?
   - How to balance between “big picture” and “technical details”?

   work less sophisticated?
   - Whether and how do you tailor your talk for different positions at
   different institutions?
   - Do research- or teaching-intensive universities expect different types
      of talks?
      - How to practise delivering the talk?
   - How to anticipate and prepare for Q&As after the talk?
   - After attending job talk as an interviewer, how would you have done
   differently if you were to give the job talk again?
