Lmao! Clearly I'm in the minority here about taking notes. Honestly I always assumed that everyone took notes until right now. Obviously I don't write down every single word, but I do like to jot down key points/relevant info or any questions that I have so I can ask them later.
It's always worked for me 🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️

I’ve never heard of anyone taking notes at an interview until now... sounds weird haha

Why would you write down their names? It’s called a business card

I guess that make sense. Taking notes of names and key facts. But I think with b4 firms the interview style is so much more conversational. Note taking may not really fit.
