Scott: 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.
As an interviewer, though, I'd like to ask you this question: when a candidate for a job has come to your office for the interview, how do you like to see them present their work samples to you? Maybe a sketchbook, maybe a nice binder full of work, or something along my method - loose pages that can be spread out? Or maybe has there been any in-person presentation of work that has stood out to you in the past, and that you wish more candidates did? I'm sort of trying to find out if there happens to be any sort of "standard" for this when it comes to the IxD field. Many of my graphic design friends bring a book to their interviews, and leave some samples and a business card behind; my motion graphics friends bring a demo reel. I want to know if something like this exists for IxD interviews. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
