Comment Lies! Damn Lies! (Score 1) 523
I actually had the same issue, I knew i was very competent with computers but had no experience to get me a job. So I put some white lies on my CV, nothing too outrageous I knew I could back up my psuedo experience with my ability and demonstrate it if required, and I got a mate of mine to act as a reference, turns out i didn't need him. Anyway long story short, once I got the job I stuck at it for a few years to get the real experience i needed, after all once you are in the profession, qualifications count for just about nothing.
