Interviewers typically describe more about the position at the interview itself. Write down what they say, or at least a summary of what they say. Not only may you actually need the information later (if hired), it looks good if you appear to be interested enough in the position to take note of this potentially useful information.
The trick is looking up every now and then and nodding at the interviewer(s) so they know you are actually hearing everything they are saying.

although sometimes you end up getting that one interviewer who thinks its rude as f**k to do that. Sometimes I wish the "interviewer" was a computer set up with specific programming in order to get rid of as much of the "human bias" as possible. Alas I can never see it happening, or see it work out.
Hmm...I haven't encountered anyone like that (yet), but you make a good point. When the interview is arranged, ask if it's "okay" if you take notes.
Happened to me once, and since that day I usually ask. I tend to go more or less the voice recorder route, because 1) I am very slow when it comes to writing by hand. 2)It in my feeling helps keep the interview "fair" IE: they will avoid asking questions that really shouldn't be asked under penalty of law kind of ordeal."
