There's obviously lots of advice you can give people to interview better but at a certain point it's like explaining how to win the NBA championship. Could be that you're sticking your elbow out on the jumper, could be that 15 people win it a year. And not always different people
So I appreciate the desire to give people as much help as you can but the main reason people don't get good academic jobs is: there aren't any and it's not a meritocracy
I'm always happy to GIVE what advice I can and others can give better. But I don't think the default should be "give advice." We will be kinder to each other consistently sending the message that it's just ridiculously hard than that it's controllable if you do the right things.
BTW - also happy to give jumpshot advice.
