Showing proprietary work on YOUR site?

[1smartcookie]

My question is about how to go about showing work that you've done in the past on your OWN website, when the work is either very large in scope and/or is proprietary or confidential? In my pursuit of employment, I'm finding that a large percentage of folks want to see a website and/or samples of work along with a resume as a prerequisite to being considered. all fine and good, but if your work is either part of a product, or a site that's behind a firewall, etc. what do you think is the best way of showing it? My preferred method would be, of course, to get an interview and go in and demo off a cd or on my hard drive.

I've resorted to taking screenshots and providing a brief explanation of what the job was, with the hope that whoever is looking at it will want to see more and I can at some point discuss and demo in detail. i could just leave the stuff off my site, but i'm concerned that they will see examples of my print or interface work and not realize that i have other skillsets.

any other ideas? or is less better?

thanks!

Instead of using screen shots and text (boring) use this instead. http://www.debugmode.com/wink/Record how your product works and put a voice over to explain it. This would be a lot more interesting I think and have a better impact.
