I did proposals for 18 months for a big telecom. We didn't touch a
proposals unless it was 5 mil or more.

I kept a complete hardcopy of every proposals I ever did. I had a
bookshelf in my home office filed with the binders.

Did I ever show them in interviews? Yes, (and only show, never copy
or leave) but only after they were awarded (or not), and never to a
company who was a direct or indirect competitor.
