Clarity in response to comment.
Jan 9, 2013 at 18:12 comment added jhocking In my last interview I pulled out my phone and that was the most successful part of the interview, but I was showing them an app I had developed. That of course is different from simply fiddling on your phone, so you might want to specify that distinction.
Jan 5, 2013 at 5:04 comment added Izkata @bethlakshmi I grew up with gadgets and still would find pulling out a smartphone or tablet to be insulting - like the interviewee feels no issues with wasting our time. If nothing else, there's always loading time that a piece of paper does not have.

Jan 4, 2013 at 21:04 comment added bethlakshmi Or interviewer may be of the tablet-using generation -- a paper can be as distracting as a tablet to some generations... I'm saying don't use any note keeping device, but realize that focus on the notes instead of the speaker is a minus regardless of the format.
