This is a weekly seminar held held during the fall semester which will provide students with a chance to give a practice job talk, and to get feedback on their talk. All students and faculty are welcome to attend.

All students who will be applying for jobs during the current academic year are encouraged to give a talk. If slots remain after these students hava a chance to sign up, other students may make use of available slots. Please send email to blight@math.rutgers.edu giving your preference for which day that you will talk. The first slot will be September 14. It may be difficult finding students to take early slots, so please consider taking one of the early slots.

Students will give a colloquium style talk. Here are some guidelines for preparing your talk. Also, the paper How to give a good colloquium by John E. McCarthy has some useful advice.
