You cant lie on your resume.
Without ever having a job, you have no resume.
What im saying is, the real resume, was the friends we made along the way.

Yes. Your resume isn’t a legal document, you don’t have to mention anything on there that you don’t want to.
Check online records for places in your locale. Say you worked at a small business for several years, then it permanently closed after the pandemic. Bar or restaurant should be fine.

Buy and sell things to people in your area. Being your own boss is the way to go even if it's a slow start.
I lied on resumes all the time and got plenty of interviews, but I've always known working for some bullshit you don't enjoy is stupid.
Godspeed.

No, because lying doesn't work like that. It's not a matter of simply telling a person falsehoods. They also have to be believable falsehoods and the second you fail the vibe check that any person who's had any sort of working experience would pass without hesitation? They'll sniff you out in half a second.
What you should do is go find a job that doesn't care the fact you don't have credentials and go work that first, get some experience, and during that period you MAKE CONNECTIONS with some cool people and maybe they can help get you in somewhere.

Or maybe you can just work your way up from the bottom (even though you're starting way late) with some minimum wage McJob or something that will hire anyone just to get yourself started. Then once you've done that, THEN you have something to put on a resume, and you can move on to something better from there.

What I did was just pick a small business that's not as strict. Chain places will have tighter rules and more thorough applications.
I'd imagine you feel a bit of stress and shame about it, but it's okay and it's not too late to get a move on. You'll feel better too.
Pick a small business, I did a restaurant. Barely even needed an application, we sat down talked a bit and he asked me when I could start. That was my in, I became head waiter and met some of the owners, one of which brought me to another place to train other staff, and then suggested me to manage another spot in a ritzy part of the city.
Just get started and you're gonna be a-okay, anon. Plenty of people do lie on the resume, but 100% fabrication is probably not going to work.
