Too much experience or not enough?

Headache! I would like to join a Management Trainee development programme at Procter & Gamble or Unilever and their requirements is NO more than 2 years experience!

If I want to work as Marketing business professional, they usually require at least one or two year in Marketing so go figure...

Since I have 3 years of business experience but 0 year of marketing one, what should I do? Should I lie and say to P&G that I only have 2 years of working experience instead of 3?

Anyway, I just noticed on the website of Unilever, a subtle mention: No more than 2 years of relevant experience.... Now what is relevant or not? In my case, I don't think that is relevant so I will say that I have less than 2 years experience, meaning relevant experience because I don't want to lie and I'm dying to apply and to be taken into consideration. I'll just omit the 1st year I worked on my resume...because it is irrelevant...;-)
