In my experience, an interview is an interview; if you're going for a Qt 
heavy role then expect lots of questions about Qt and how you've used it 
in the past.

Consider getting the Qt Certification to indicate you have a solid level 
of knowledge: http://qt.nokia.com/developer/learning/certification

Snapshots of user interfaces could be good as long as you can clearly 
explain how each was built, if there were any interesting or unusual 
aspects and how you tackled those. Even better would be allowing the 
portfolio examples to be downloaded so that the interviewers can try 
your software out.

Good luck!
