As I am old school, I retain the habit of filling in my logbook every night when I get home from flying - takes seconds.
In the four UK airline interviews I attended, the pilot person on the interview board would leaf through my (paper) log books while the HR person was asking me their questions. In one interview there was just the Chief Pilot and the Deputy Chief Pilot - there was no HR. so there were only sensible questions; Bliss !! The Deputy CP checked my log books.
I am old school too and always keep a paper log book. I don't trust such an important thing to electronic storage. I updated mine every day in the crew room after the duty, or in the hotel if we were down route.
