I often ask less and listen more. I like to look at the candidate unintentionally from top to bottom to make sure that they take this interview seriously...Then I ask
why are you looking, how long have you worked for your current employer ?
why do you think you are the fit for the position?
what are your top three skills that make you stand out?

"top to bottom"? Do you sniff on the candidates too?:-)There are only two questions really relevant:
1. Why do you like this job?
2. Why should we hire you?

actually no.. the follow-on question during the interview is key.. i.e. when the candidate was talking about the the grand solution he/she built, a few simple why type of questions will give me a lot insight...

I understand what 老猫 is talking .I totally agree with him. The difference between you and him is that he can tell who is 吹牛 and who really know something from the way how they answer the questions and the way they think. Some small details really can tell the difference. If you can't tell 吹牛 from 有料, then you need to continue to improve.

It's a known fact that some places actually use RFPs to steal solution ideas from the bidders.

I guess IBM doesn't need any substance in the proposal - when IBM is invited to bid, the chances are -- it already won.:-)

Some hires start for tomorrow; some hires firefighter for today. Some hires winners to move things forward; some hires losers to (purposely) slow things down. Some hires for the sake of the business; some hires for the hiring manager's private agenda...

The best genius I ever personally worked with was a gay -- a very decent, and extremely handsome, young white.

I had the same situation. The guy who I worked with was super intelligent and knowledgeable. He was a gay and later he resigned and went to England following his spouse.
