Finished apprenticeship a year ago in rural Germany, zero job offers with >100 applications, considering faking 1 year of work experience on my CV. Worth it?

So I just finished my 3-year IT apprenticeship (FiSi). Got a genuinely good reference letter, passed my exams, the company even said they wanted to keep me but had no open position.

But I live in the middle of nowhere, can't relocate, and every remote job wants "minimum 2 years experience." I have zero. Apprenticeship apparently doesn't count for most recruiters.

I'm thinking about just adding a fake 1-year fixed-term System Engineer role at the same company where I did my apprenticeship. Stack would be realistic since I actually know the tools (Intune, AD, SCCM, Veeam, Exchange Hybrid). They even said they wanted to keep me so it's not that far fetched.

Risks I see:

• Background check (do German companies even do this?)
• Legal issues?

Is this worth it or am I cooked either way
