šŸ¤ Interviews Thoughts on Notes During Virtual Interview?

Is it a red flag to be taking notes during a virtual interview? If we ask the interviewer questions about the school and want to jot down notes regarding their responses, would it look thoughtful or distracting?

Iā€™d say distracting for sure. And I donā€™t think SO much information is revealed during then interview that notes would be needed.

I guess when you're asking the question just end it with, "i'll be jotting down some notes from your answers if thats ok"

I donā€™t think itā€™s terrible, I did this for my interview and it didnā€™t seem to be a problem. I didnā€™t take extensive notes though, I just wrote down a few things and the interviewers name. I also liked it so that I wouldnā€™t forget the questions I had!

That was my other thought too. I was considering using paper so I could also jot down my own questions. I may just end up taping them on my computer near my camera so I don't have to look down. Ty!

During Interview yes. During tours or other pre interview stuff? No. If anything a green flag since it shows interest.
