I look at the job posting and read the tech requirements and tell them I know all of those and just add them to my CV. Went into java/php and python jobs saying i had 5 years experience when I had 0 minutes experience.

I also grossly exaggerate my role in certain companies or sometimes just steal stuff that i never actually touched but know enough about i can say i lead.

For example i wrote some bug fixes for a taxi booking system, this becomes I lead a taxi booking system build from the ground up solo and gathered the requirements from the customer.

So far no ones caught me out cos i learn quickly enough and never ask questions just sit and observe until I'm confident enough. Did have one interview where it was a genuinely very clever person who knew i was bullshitting but most senior devs either don't seem to know or care.

Try and lie about things you can explain within reason cos i tried telling people i know kafka and that didn't work out so well
