Man put some experience... if u have to lie, lie as long as u have knowledge, but make sure you have reference ready and also that you have applied in a company where they don't do extensive background check... many, most private companies do not care as long as you know what you have put in as experience... and of course higher certification helps, but the companies likes to hear that the person interviewed has knowledge and has experience what they are looking... in interview if you can talk about work, project and situation that should be enough, you don't have to describe anything in theoretically.... Good luck brother! Make sure you tailor your resume as per the openings and make sure you know what you are talking about.... just give description of certain process is not enough... you should have knowledge and preparation to tell something like this... yeah we had this process in this project in thsi company ... the client wanted this ... I worked on this and did this .... have some issues covered as they will ask what issues u faced in that particular project and ... GPA and such it totally depends on the company you are applying.. most company don't... I had applied in Northrop Grumman... all they did was they checked with University if I did go there... they used Acxiom to do the background check... other private companies don't care about that... Why even put GPA in Resume.. u really don't have to unless they ask for it.
