I fully subscribe to the fake it till you make it mantra. I got my first job in finance after college by claiming I was proficient in Microsoft Excel even though I just learned the SUM function that morning.

Unfortunately for Aaron Paul, J.J. Abrams held his hand to the fire, and Paul’s failed attempt to connect with the legendary director came back to bite him in the ass in an audition for Cloverfield.
