This one is important! Some people need support, maybe even micro-managing, until they 
get up to speed, others don't and would rather jump in neck deep. Always remember that 
just because you might prefer one method it doesn't mean the perspective employee 
does, and it's important to ask up front.

Hi --

Another area of focus is the environment.  If SAP, ask questions on IDOC 
structure, EDPAR, etc.
If Oracle, ask about the EC Gateway & how it works.   You might also 
want to ask questions regarding the amount of customization they did, 
why & how long did it take.  ( I see a lot of re-inventing of the wheel 
because people do not understand the basic functionality of the 
products, and problems due to customization.)  What was their fastest 
implementation? If in order management, what % of lines successfully 
booked? or some other stat to see if they are monitering the success of 
the project.  If they need UNIX or SQL experience, you might ask a 
question about that.   Also question if they have ever had a difficult 
customer (internal or external) and how they handled it.   How active 
are they with EC commerce organizations?  Training?  Certifications?  
Ongoing community courses?  Have they been a speaker or written on the 
topic?    What project were they most proud of?  What would they have 
done differently in hindsight?  What is their communication method?  
Status reports?  etc.  Education?  Technical courses?  Do they have any 
business background?  Accounting?   Project Management?   Do they feel 
they will need a lot of support to get up to speed? or minimal 
supervision?   Are there any skills they don't have for the project that 
will require additional resources?

I agree with some of the others that some questions can be too technical 
although it doesn't hurt to ask a few.  And,
remember, some are specific to industries.

Good luck.   Interviewing & finding good people is the most difficult 
skill of all.   Naturally, follow up with the references.  Also be sure 
that you ask regarding the skill level.  Do they need a lot of 
supervision to get something done?  Are they quick? or slow?  Easy to 
manage or difficult?
