Ever been out of your depth on a contract?

It's called winging it or - Lot's of bedtime reading.

If you are in this situation then you either lied way to much on your CV or at the interview.

If on the other hand the boss is expecting too much too soon tell him/her.

I've got a juicy NASA contract after getting Wernher von Braun reference whilst he was working in Penemunde: this was the first and only job when I felt a bit out of my depth, but I grabbed victory against all odds and became real contractor heavyweight type.

threaded.

Alexei, your "threaded" posts never cease to make me wet myself with laughter.
