I've been an interviewer many times, but the approach
we use is a tehnique called, amongst other things,
"situational experience" and involves questions such
as:

"Tell me about a time when your project was running late."
<response>
"So what did you do to rectify things?"
<response>
"And what was the result?
<response>
"So what did you learn that you would do diferently?"

And so on.

A more technical example might be:

"When you are programming in <language> what is the most
common error you make?
<response>
"So what do you do to avoid it?"
<response>
"And what is the result?
<response>
"So what did you learn that you now do differently?"

etc etc.

The key thing we are looking for is the individual's own contribution.
We don't want to hear "as a team we solved world hunger", we want
to hear what/how that individual directly contributed - they 
personally
planted 3 tonnes of miracle rice, or whatever.

Not sure if that helps?
