Hi Jen,
I have a small portfolio book that I bring to interviews. For significant
systems, sites, or software, I'll include a single page from a design or

Thanks for your detailed reply! I too feel much better about the
interview when the interviewer has me design something on the spot. I
can talk about my work until I'm blue in the face, but I feel like I
can really *show* the interviewer my strengths if I'm sketching
something out for them.
Along these lines, this discussion came up a lot this morning on Twitter -
Imagine a world in which you work full time creating a lot of deliverables,
sketches, wireframes, sitemaps, task flows, user stories, but because of the
NDA and various work product ownership things signed - you can never

In a standard one hour interview I think it is pretty easy to get to the
heart of deliverables such as use cases, process flows, wireframes and even
taxonomies and nav structures. A 30 minute white board session with some
well thought out problem statements or project briefs help.

This has [mostly] been my situation for most of my career, as

in that time I did hundreds of interviews and saw every conceivable

Can I impose on you to describe an example of how this item would be

I'm curious as to how other interaction designers display and speak to their
