[jsfg_cinti] Catch-22?

Hello and a good day to all!
   
  Well, folks, it's seems to have come back again like a dirty penny. How can I 
get experience unless I get hired? I'm referring to hands-on exp working with 
Sarbanes-Oxley, or SOX 404. You financial types (and maybe others) I'm sure, 
know what I'm talking about. I just finished a phone interview with a local 
public co. and one of the questions the HR lady asked was: have I had any SOX 
experience? Well, I stumbled a little on answering, because I have basically 
only read about Sarbanes-Oxley, which I don't think qualifies as hands-on 
experience.Have had a short stint of working with it, but not that much, a few 
days as a temp. So, I'm wondering: is there any way on this green Earth to get 
actual hands-on experience working with SOX, other than by being hired by a Big 
4 accounting firm or one that does public co. audits? Shadowing maybe? I would 
even consider doing it for nothing  (or very little) for a while to get the 
experience. I just feel like if I could have gotten
 some SOX experience under my belt previously, I could have had a job by now.
   
  Any comments? Can someone help me on this, or suggest where I might get some 
help please? I want to shout it out to the AICPA and OSCPA and every other 
accountants' assn :"How can I get SOX experience?"
   
  Thanks a heap!
