Is it bad to go into an interview with notes? I have a one pager of points/questions I'd like to hit on, but I don't want to look over the top.

Nothing wrong with that. Shows preparation. Just have a folder with your resume and notes

I would not recommend going in with notes. Would seem amateurish. Just memorize the questions you want to ask. The more the interview feels like a conversation the better you will do - notes may interrupt that flow.

Hey, I am appearing for a pre-sales engineer interview. It will be a sort of role-play demo session, where the team will want to understand how I present, how I manage a room, how I keep my audience engaged and also your technical abilities when asked regarding the solution. I have a liberty to choose any data science related product. I am essentially confused as to what product to choose, and how to structure the presentation. I would highly appreciate tips and suggestions. Thanks

So, I’m interviewing for a position that fits perfectly, HR likes my profile, had great conversations with them. Today I had a Panel interview with HR and the hiring manager. The manager is not experienced, it’s her first r manager role and she’s been in it for 3 months. I was prepared but was out of breath the entire interview, had a knot in my throat, had trouble finding my words. It’s like I had PTSD when this manager came into the picture. Ever had that?

Three job interviews with a company, last one creating a marketing plan and presenting to marketing VP. I received good feedback from him.

I’m really annoyed and tired. Thoughts?
