Not really; but I know people who've been able to bullshit themselves into
jobs where they didn't have the requisite experience, either by pretending
they did and learning fast, or by impressing interviewers with their general
abilities and telling them they could learn the new skills in a few days.
While the former case is rather more dubious than the latter, they were good
enough that they were never really going to cause problems doing it.
