The interviewers don't care. Use paper.

Uh, yeah, we do care. Part of what we're judging is your ability to present and explain your work. How you do your work is your business, but how you share it affects the people you work with. If you think it's all about you, then you're off on the wrong foot already.



We don't commit new code to whiteboards. We commit it to VCS. You know, with such electronic thingies, called computers. And when my interviewers wanted to collaborate they didn't find it too difficult with paper. Even sitting opposite of me (and that is why large tables in conferences are evil).
