I got baited and switched. I thought I was interviewing for a network/desktop support position, but once I started I was quickly moved to maintaining an MS Access db. I had no idea what I was doing. I didn't understand what a relational db was or, really even understand how Access was different from Excel. But I had done some little toy programming projects before, and I had the existing code in front of me to work as examples. Turned out I liked programming better than network support. Most of the time, anyway. I don't fake my skill set, and I don't really recommend it, but I am an uptight nerd. It does work for some people. Another guy said communicate your enthusiasm, and if you can get face to face with someone that can work very well. I think one of the things that got me the job above was my saying, "I like working with computers and tech. Go ahead and give me the loose ends and yucky jobs around here that no one else wants to do, I'll be happy to do them."
