Hi Anonymous,
Apart from the content-focused answers given already by know, I would like to add one more point which is easily overlooked and quite dangerous at the same.
Clearly, you are in a high-pressure situation during interviews - and that makes you even more error-prone to miss out on some details which the interviewer is mentioning (and yes, sometimes it's really about small details and nuances if you finally understand it correclty or not!).
So whenever taking notes, ensure that you practice highly time-efficient way of taking notes and use abbreviations and symbols whenever possible (so e.g. if revenue is going down severely, it's a enough to jot down a capital "R" for revenue and a downward-facing arrow, if you are used to that).
At the same time, practice hard to still actively listen to your interviewer while taking notes. We all know how bad the human brain is in multi-tasking, so be especially aware of that when taking notes while you listen.
Hope this helps - if so, please be so kind and give it a thumbs-up with the green upvote button below!
