I'm looking for my first job in interaction design or something
similar, having recently earned my Master of Science degree in HCI.
I'm having a bit of difficulty with the job search, in part because
I have a background in computer science and most of my experience is
in web development.
I'm looking at a similar situation, and the advice I've been getting
(and that I plan on following :-) is to build a portfolio that shows my
design chops. It might mean keeping my day job as an engineer and
doing projects on the side for friends or on the cheap for charity
organizations, but I need to show that my design skills are good enough
to hire me as a designer first, coder second.
