In addition to what Sharon and Bill said, I always take a writing pad
and I jot down the names of the interviewees as they introduce
themselves. (I use a leather bound case because it looks better than
a plain yellow pad and I can carry business cards, extra resumes,
etc., without looking like the nutty professor.) I use this during
the course of the interview to jot down notes and associate them with
a person. This helps me address questions to a specific person if I
need to at the end of the formal interview session, or when I write
that all important follow up thank you note.
