You are not an intellectual fraud. Not at all. But I know just how hard it is to believe that, I have the same problem myself. This:
I can't tell all these people that yes, employ me, I am the best person for the job, because I don't believe that myself.
is exactly how I feel about applying for jobs in the future. And it's terrifying. But there are an awful lot of people out there more stupid than us, and not in an intellectual way, in an utterly lacking in common sense, or possibly morals, or generally less employable way.
