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.Throw them to the lions - WC2 5.4Comment
