Interview etiquette

Is it ok to take a few notes during an interview?? Mostly just to make sure I remember everything that's said (I have an absolute terrible memory when it comes to verbal conversations)
To be more specific, whenever the company starts talking specifics about salary, hours, benefits, insurance, etc.... Not when they ask questions about myself

Notes are fine
Periscope of the interview is a bad idea

Absolutely it's okay. I'd encourage it.

I'm sure it's not frowned upon, but keep in mind that it is still part of your depiction of your candidacy for the position.

No. It'll make you look dumb, like you can't remember basic important info.

Yes, but don't say it's because you have a terrible memory, say it's because you're thorough.

Most career service professionals encourage candidates to take notes. Basically you ask near the beginning of your conversation if the interviewer minds if you jot some stuff down while y'all are talking. They will be fine with it and happy you asked

Try not to have a Hangover! Good Luck!

Ask first.
They are sure to say 'yes' but I think that asking to take notes shows respect and that you are genuinely serious and interested in the job.

I don't keep up with all of the latest terminology and stuff...but is there another kind of conversation?

Make sure to specifically ask if any workdays are clothing optional.
As unis are a big deal, nature suits were issued to all employees.

One great tactic is to bring some type of visual of your past work...a schematic or photograph of a type of machine, panel, rig. And then ask if you can show them rather than just explain.
It's good for your confidence because it takes the attention off of you and puts it on that. It also opens up a more conversational atmosphere. Plus, you can ask if they want to keep it that way they'll remember you better from the other applicants.

Write everything down. That way when they try to frick you on your salary, you can say nope, look right here

It's not only ok, it's expected. Never ever go into an interview without taking notes. Keep in mind that you just aren't selling yourself to them, they are selling themselves to you. An interview should be conversational and a learning experience. How are you supposed to remember everything without writing it down? I wouldn't hire someone who didn't take notes when I answered their questions about the job.

It'll be on your written offer if/when you get it. Never ask about PTO or sick leave during an interview.

You can never be overdressed.

Don't mention this in the interview.

What you just asked in a different way is this:
Is it OK to show what the interviewer is saying is important to me during an interview?
Now that I rephrased it for you, answer the question on your own.
