Response #5
This past week one of the topics we discussed was the advantages and disadvantages of note-taking and recording. This is a relevant topic for interviewing because it is important to know which strategy is best to use. I have done both note-taking and recording during interviews. I feel note-taking is good when one is trying to get answers quick. An audio recorder can also be good for quick answers. If the interview if for a project for example, than one may want to use a video or audio recorder. Even though recorders make it easier in the long run, I believe note-taking should still be used. I say this because it is good to write down important bits of information when doing an interview because you can quickly glance at notes to bring up something else important. As we mentioned in class, technology often malfunctions so one should have a backup incase this occurs.
