Sounds great: you're hired!
While looking for work between college semesters one summer I answered an advertisement for a startup COBOL programming position at a long established local business. There was no CV/resume involved: the interview was a simple chat with the head of the computer department. After a few minutes of talk regarding my future goals and how this job would relate to them, the interviewer started in on my main qualifications by asking me what the four main sections of a COBOL program were.

I simply said, "identification; environment; procedure and data division" whereupon the fellow behind the desk said, "wow, you really sound bored: you must be an expert with this language already. When can you start?"

I hurriedly explained that I was not an expert in the language and if I sounded as bored as a seasoned pro, it was because I had quickly become familiar with just how difficult it could be to work with the program's structure. This earned extra points for honesty and still got me hired to babysit the printers: not a bad deal at $10/hr for the duration of the work.
