How to lie on your resume and still get the job.
1) First, know how to code, publish a portfolio of public code on github. You can't lie about that part.
2) You've decided to lie about past jobs:
- pick bankrupt/closed companies
- know your story, don't just list technologies and tasks
- know what your department did for your fictional company.
good: They sent bills to deadbeats who bought widgets on credit.
bad: I processed data for the people who needed data to be processed-Data-ETL-Python!

You need resume filler? You could even be half honest about this, say, "I worked as an independent consultant. I got no clients and am now looking for work to make rent. Here is the code I would have delivered to customers if only I had found a customer in the last 4 years (while I was at college or high school or whatever)"
You don't actually know how to write code and still want the job? To get your feet in the door and learn on the job so to speak? You need to know one language already before pulling that stunt. Or put it in your resume "Looking for non-coding technical role" and from there you can grow into a coding role.
