Make a story up that paints you as a clever fuck without coming off like a prick. They'll never verify it.

Good God man.

If you have so few previous experiences that you can't pull some examples out of your arse then perhaps you don't deserve the jobs you're going for, hmm?

However I expect you could quite easily think of some examples if you tried. A bit of embellishment may be required but outright fiction isn't advisable.

Even if you were only ever a student, there must have been times where you:
- worked independently
- worked in a team
- took direction
- held or shared a leadership role
- worked to a deadline
- asked for advice
- reflected on feedback or failure
- gave feedback to a colleague
- mediated a dispute
- had to compromise between two desired outcomes
- showed initiative
- took on additional workload to get a task finished
...right? Because I could give examples to all of the above just from my time as a student, and I wasn't even particularly active in extra curricular stuff.

If you've ever done voluntary or part time work, that gives you more to draw from.

If you're honestly getting that kind of interview response then either you're a very poor match for the required qualifications or else you just need to work a lot harder on how you present yourself. In either case you might want to go for a more entry level job for now, just to get your foot on the ladder and hopefully build some experience and confidence. Or hell, do voluntary work, that always looks good on a cv.
