29. Bring a Notepad and Pen to Take Notes
To be fully prepared for a job interview, bringing a notepad and pen to take notes is crucial. This small detail can benefit you in several ways, such as displaying your engagement and interest in what the interviewer is saying, as well as aiding your memory of important job and company details for potential follow-up questions or a second interview.
Taking notes can also help you stay organized by tracking essential action items like the interviewer’s contact information or upcoming deadlines. However, avoiding over-focusing on taking notes and potentially missing crucial information or connection opportunities with the interviewer is crucial.
