Can I keep notes nearby?
Yes, a few bullet points can help. Do not spend the interview visibly reading full paragraphs from another screen.
Prepare more questions than you think you need
A conversational interview can reach your questions quickly. Have backups so you are not inventing them under pressure.
Do not fill the clock
Have a strong conversation that fits naturally inside the hour rather than trying to manufacture sixty minutes of talking.
