Here's one more tip re portfolios: include credits for the people you worked with.
If you're showing examples of final product, credit the designer/art director/creative director, the technical lead, the producer/PM... it doesn't have to be a laundry list of everyone who came to a meeting, but you do need to show that you can "work well with others" and that you give credit where it's due. Be prepared that your interviewer will probably have worked with or met one of the people you have worked with, so have something nice to say about them. One of the best advice I've heard about job interviews is that you basically have the job when you walk into the room; you lose it based on whether or not the interviewer feels you will be a good fit on the team. Someone who doesn't give props to the people they work with raises a red flag.
