If you're giving a power point pres for a job talk, do you put the following on the title slide, like what you might do at a conference? If not, any suggestions?

That is what I have done. I set up the presentation beforehand, so the title slide was showing while folks were coming in and waiting.
For the handout, however, rather than wasting a slide with this, I put it in the headers/footers.
Good luck!

That looks good. As a precaution, also put your job talk on transparencies. You never know what will go wrong (technologically) during a job talk.

I do not put that on my conference slides either. Instead, I try to make a significant impression so that people remember my name when I say it.

I'd say put your name and affiliation (department + institution), but skip listing the date and "job talk, state U". They already know the date, where they are and that you are giving a job talk. But you want them to remember who you are, especially if they've already had two or four people in to interview already.

As was noted above, a title slide is a good thing to have displayed as people are filing in the room and as you're being intruduced.
I personally wouldn't include the date or write the actual words "Job Talk", but otherwise would use the same info that you're using (plus the title of the talk, of course).

I got a chuckle once from the gallery from having "job talk" written on my title slide. I think it broke some of the tension.

I didn't use the "job talk" line, and i also wanted to make sure I didn't offend by putting my affiliation above the interview school, so I used a format like:
Title
My Name
Affiliation Interview
School School
Logo Logo

That so did not format the way it was supposed to!
I put the logos for each school in the lower corners of my title slide.
