IMO - from both an interviewer and an interviewee perspective, the best way to judge an interaction design candidate is to hold a "working session" where the candidate is given a problem to solve and works by brainstorming potential solutions by whiteboarding, sketching, and discussing with the team. By seeing how they work, it's easier to tell whether the candidate will fit with the team and whether they have the analytic and presentation skills required for this type of work.
Can this person think fast? Do they jump to conclusions or evaluate several possibilities? Do they consider others' opinions? How will they evaluate if the solution is effective? Just an idea. :) Samantha LeVan http://www.perfecttuna.com . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
