There’s nothing stopping you from lying on your resume. Just make sure you have the general knowledge of the field, i.e. don’t apply to a programming job if you don’t know how to write code
At my current job (software engineer) I’ve had to interview a lot of people. It’s wild how many times I’ve asked a candidate about a skill they list on their resume only for them to completely fail even basic questions.
Then it gets really awkward when I point to it listed on their resume.
If you don’t even know the basics then don’t lie about it. If there’s any chance you’ll be asked more advanced questions then don’t lie about it. Save yourself the embarrassment.
