Faking experience

[mcquiggd]

Im thinking of downgrading some aspects of my CV as everyone wants me to be either a manager or a 'consultant'..... i.e. galavanting all over the shop while the company makes a mint out of you. No, ta.

As a very young WC2 - Out of college - Could not get any IT work - So I got a job in a Postroom - For 2 bloody years tried to get a start - No experience - No Job.

So I got a little creative with my CV and got an interview for a Novell sysadmin job - Read a book the night before - Got the job - Fake reference from a colleague who backed up my story of all the experience.

It was for a bank - Don't really know how I pulled it off.

Does £6500 get you a course that then gets you the SAP contracts?
