job interview

[mufc802]

I am wondering if it's acceptable to take some brief notes into a job interview which I can refer to? It would just remind me of particular questions I would like to ask such as their predicted revenue or environmental concerns. I just find when I'm without any written down information I can really struggle to think of what to say if you know what I mean.

Does it show the employer you're clearly interested in the job and want to know more or you're just unable to think for yourself?

I wouldn't.
Just try and remember everything as this will help your public speaking skills aswell.

How about taking the notes but only referring to them when I really have to? Better having that rather than saying a stupid answer no?

I have some notes about the company and their revenue where I hope to ask what is their forecast for the current year and how they plan to improve revenue where I can refer to them being a supplier for the 2012 games.

I will also ask about what they do to help the environment such as improving energy efficiency and minimisation of waste.

Finally I will have some brief points about my skills which I will expand upon with examples.

Am I doing too much research just for a stockroom assistant position?

Just had my interview. It was a lot better than the B&Q interview because I was more comfortable answering the questions. I asked at the start of the interview if I could refer to my notes and she was more than happy for me to. One of the questions was even "What research have you done about our company?" and I was allowed to look at my notes as well and had loads of things to say.
My interviewer was a very nice young lady who was very friendly so it was nice to look at her while answering the questions rather than looking at some grumpy old git.
