Re: Getting to do something you have never done before.

How about letting 'em know you're interested and hoping for luck? I once got offered a job that I thought I was qualified for but had no real experience in because the guy that had the job before got in a car wreck. They needed someone fast. (For the record, I had already left town in search of greener pastures and couldn't take the job). Or doing something to put on your reel that shows you can do it. Maybe you have to come in after hours (like, sure, you've got time) and get on the equipment when no one else is there. And I don't think lying is good, but embellishment and enhancement is what it's all about....
