Darth, Are you a CCIE? I don't see your number. But what would you hate to
be asked in the interview? that's the question i would ask.
I would ask him/her what are your weak points and what are your strong
points. Go from there.
Talk to him/her about some of the problems that your firm had and see
what the person responds, but don't expect the poor CCIE to solve it for you
in a second. But he/she should have an idea as to where to look, from that
you should know the depth of his/her knowledge.
If you or the interviewer is experienced enough, the second this person
opens his/her mouth, you should know the depth of his knowledge.
But once again, CCIEs are not gods, they can have a bad day as well. I
personally like to focus on the person's attitude and personality, obviously
he/she got the CCIE cert, which means that the person either knows or knew
the stuff and can easily pick up the info.
My 2 Cent.
