6. Write with your shoulder. Trying to draw whiteboard-sized letters with your fingers produces sloppy handwriting. Keep your hand and wrist stable, and move your shoulder. This applies to normal handwriting as well, but the improvement isn&#x27;t as immediately obvious: <a href="http://www.paperpenalia.com/handwriting.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.paperpenalia.com&#x2F;handwriting.html</a>

A definite +1 for writing down the question.<p>Regardless of your confidence in yourself, it just takes one inarticulate interviewer sending you off in the wrong direction and then marking you down as &quot;couldn&#x27;t solve the problem and then claimed to have misheard me&quot; to ruin your review, especially since many companies nowadays require a unanimous &quot;yes&quot; before making an offer.

How about number 1: Give the interviewed person a working pen.<p>No, I&#x27;m not making this up, sadly :(
