Alas, no - I'd support IxDA in general, but it's been articulated already why this wouldn't fly in general. I'd think the membership would want as open a channel as possible to opportunities. > 2) How would you want to deal with other job-related opportunities such as > internships, PhD, part-time positions and so on? As above. > 3) How valuable would the portfolio service be to you?

I'm thinking only as they overlap with IxD, cf. the infinite debates over job titles and roles. I consider it a user experience issue if a hiring/HR manager bounces off the low initial hurdle of not being able to find Information Architect, UX Designer, Wireframe Commando or whatever name their company has in mind when it would fit someone in the organization.
