IxD Portfolios @ Interviews: What Do You Do?

I'm curious as to how other interaction designers display and speak to their
work on job interviews, and what techniques, devices, layouts, methods, etc.
resonate with those hiring them.

I usually bring printed samples of my work and paperclip them together into
different projects. That allows me to take all the flow diagrams,
wireframes, etc. and spread them out on a table and talk about them page by
page.

Displaying hierarchy without treeviews

We're currently designing a reporting application and we've endeavored to avoid treeviews wherever possible. This has been successful so far, as we're implementing listviews combined with a label system similar to the one offered by Gmail. However, one type of report is causing our model to 'break', for lack of a better word.

Our product will ship with reports based on HIPAA compliance documents, which are structured in an hierarchical manner. The first version of this application displayed these reports using a treeview, with the categories matching those found in the HIPAA documents.

Best Country for IxD

Hello Everyone,

Interaction design as most of us know is not understood by everyone. However
if we look relatively, the term is well understood in some countries while
other places its completely absent even on corporates.Although many firms
must be practicing IxD under different names. Considering a global
atmosphere, which countries do you think have advanced in this domain.

Thanks,
Amit
