At the recent SIGCHI.NL conference The Web and Beyond, we had a job board
overfowing with job openings
(http://www.flickr.com/photos/25743783@N00/164086879/). Some of them are
posted on the SIGCHI.NL website (http://www.sigchi.nl/page.asp?folder=87),
others on individual companies' sites (http://www.info.nl for example) and
others are communicated through informal networks (such as my Amsterdam IA
Cocktail Hours). Oh, and in the last month 26 openings containing the words
"interaction"and "design" were posted on Monsterboard
(http://jobsearch.monsterboard.nl/jobsearch.asp?q=interaction+design&re=13&sort=rv&tm=30d&cy=nl&vw=d).
So, although you may not see the offers posted on international lists such
as IxDA or the IA Job Board, there are positions available...

And yes, there is the issue of scale too.
