You Must Believe Me
For Belle's Re(lie)ability Unofficial Challenge
Introduction
This is for Belle's Challenge that you can read about below, and takes it a lot of my work experiences:
You Must Believe Me
I will get that job, I know I don't have the qualifications or experience but the people interviewing me know even less than me, so they will be easy to fool. I have done it many times before, and yes I know I will screw their systems up but I have qualifications and degrees (fake I know from various sources), and that will get me the interview because ninety percent of company interviews never research what they are sent. They are so trusting.
These short-term contracts pay big money so they are easy kills for someone like me.
The Interview
Them: "So how long have you been working on JCN systems? We need someone who can hit the ground running but apply blue-sky thinking and think outside of the box"
Me: "I have five years experience of JCN, and have worked on JOS 5.2 to 7.3 which is the current one. What version are you on here?"
Them: "Er, we'll have to ask our tech team about that, but we hope that you will be able to apply yourself if we offer you the contract"
Me: "I'll be fine. JCN 7.3 was only released three months ago, so I am up to date with all the updates, and 5.2 was five years ago so I don't expect your systems are that old"
My God, they haven't a clue. Blue-Sky Thinking, Thinking Outside The Box, how many more clichés will they come out with? I have never worked on JCN just read a few books, and Google has been a great help, and at £500 a day, if I get a few weeks that'll do me.
Them: "We are impressed with what you have shown us so would you be interested in taking the contract? If so when can you start?"
Me: "Thank you. I can start two weeks on Monday as I am just completing my current JCN contract. We're on 6.6"
Them: "Fantastic. We will set up your access, and have your pass ready when you turn up. Looking forward to working with you"
Next
I'll take these two weeks to familiarise myself with JCN and I should get £10K out of them before they realise I haven't got a clue what I'm doing apart from ripping them off.
Then it will be time for my next mark.

Black Rainbows
It started here Black Rainbows Observation platforms sent back what they saw on the column of nothing. It pierced the Earth and then swung round in a huge infinity shape passing through and back out of a black hole that had appeared at the edge of the Solar System.

If You Love Me, You'll Do It
I met Jason when I was five years old. I could say that I loved him from the moment I saw him. He was so handsome to me and I felt in awe by his presence. When they introduced him as the new kid in school, I wanted to be his friend right away. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember his smile and how he didn't seem shy. He appeared confident and ready to learn. I waved at him and said "hello," before anyone else could even say a word. He sat next to me, and I asked him if he wanted to be friends. He looked so happy as he said, "Yes!"

Guardian Angels 1 Sneak Peek
Silence, except for the hooting of an owl somewhere in the dark woods to the left. Kalin took in a deep breath of cool night air, holding it for a few seconds before slowly letting it out as she opened her eyes. The path stretched out in front of her, lit at intervals by the campus lights. Almost there, she told herself. Just two more years of hard studying, and she’d have her degree. She could take care of her sister and parents. She tilted her head back, looking up at the stars. Even with the campus lighting, she could see more stars here in the mountains than at home in the city. She tugged her hoodie closer around her, swallowing her nerves. It wasn’t like they weren’t supposed to be out at night, but something about the quiet made her feel out of place.

Ah!! It's crazy how many people actually pull stuff like this, but crazier still that they get away with it! Loved this take on the challenge!! Thank you so much for entering!
Absolutely brilliant!1 If only it wasn't so true. There was a news story a little while ago about some IT engineer going for a job interview. They challenged him to fix a bug in one of their systems. I don't remember the full details, but somehow, he was using Rayban's camera glasses to get the information he needed and was just typing from what he saw in the image.
Haha, this is extremely funny - considering the narratives of interviews.
What a story of mischief and possible mayhem. Good job and good luck with the challenge.
If only I was this good at interviews. This is how it be tho. Nice story and cool challenge.
Oh, my, some people are just easy marks
