I’m an IPhone developer who wants to change to Drupal developement.
I have already read some books, coded some samples and stuff like that.
I feel like my level in Drupal is not that bad now but I have no experience, how can I find a job? How can I show off my level in an interview?
* Coding a module? And posting it on Drupal.org?
* Coding a template? And posting it on Drupal.org?
* Coding a sample website? And posting on a website?
* Other ideas? I’m open to everything…

Best thing you can possibly have happen in a job interview is you to be an author or contributer of a library your potential employer loves.
After that, having code available to show you know what you are talking about, even if you don’t have the professional experience.
After that, just the ability to speak passionately about it, and demonstrate a breadth of knowledge.
All of those things (except maybe the last) are as good or better then professional experience. Another thing to keep in mind is that if you don’t have the bullet points on your resume, you really need to make up for it in your cover letter. Show the above things, but take the time to research the company, and write a customized cover letter for each application.
