I Realized Something

I sometimes forget the questions that I want to ask after an interview is over.

I just realized that when they ask " do you have any questions" the interview is officially over which means I can pull out an entire notebook with my questions about the job...

I mean i know you cant have notes on the table while interviewing, but I should be able to whip out a notebook with my questions about the job. Since that means I've done my research...

Have you ever done this?
