Thanks for the discussion. It seems like the only way is to really go into an interview and oversell (well at least preach the right story).Originally posted by TheFaQQer View PostLie - just tell them you were the business analyst rather than writing the reports. Make out that you have the skills and experience, blag the job, get the experience. Then you won't need to blag it any more.
I have managed to score some interviews next week. So will see how they pan out.Comment

(Not that the agency will have a clue what is needed, and 90% of the time neither will the client).
And if you feel a bit wrong, just remember that both the agency and the client will more than likely be massively over-selling the role to you as well. If you can't beat 'em, etc.Comment
