So lie and say you have experience. What are they going to do, fire you? If (and that is a BIG if) they find out.
Oh no, you don't have a job, back where you started only now you DO have experience. |
That's a really, really, really bad idea ...
It is unlikely that a company will hire you without checking your references, and if you get through the interview process and they check your references and find out that you don’t have the experience you claim they won’t hire you; and there will people who will remember you for years within the company, and you will have difficulty ever getting a job from them. Even in very large cities, many fields are not all that large and pulling a stunt like this at a couple of places can effectively prevent you from being able to get a job for a very long time.

I'm an electrician, do you want to know how many times I've needed provide my qualifications or evidence of experience when working on building sites? Never, and those places have all sorts of stupid regulations you meant to meet to work on one.
Very few employers bother to check when they got many people wanting a position since it takes too long to check them all, unless you look and sound completely dodgy they will not bother.
If you want jobs you need learn to blag, especially early on.

That might be how things work in the trades where you're hiring someone to work on a short term project (and can replace them within 24 hours) but when you're hiring someone in an office setting that simply won't work.
