Is it okay to look at notes during an interview?

Yes, absolutely bring your notes and feel free to reference them during the interview.

The only caution is to not become distracted by them. Ensure you maintain good eye contact throughout the interview and if you need to make a note, make it quick, or ask for a brief moment to write down what you felt was important enough to note.

• It's okay to take 1 or 2 notes that you feel are essential, but more than that will make your notepad a barrier between you and the interviewer.
