Dude if you have no websites that you built, no website that you ranked #1 on google for, you must of never done it. Therefore, when you get the job you wont be able to build the website and/or rank it for its keyword to their satisfaction. They will then know you are a fraud and you will lose the job, putting you in the exact same position you are in now.
Why not just learn the trade with a couple of niche websites, put them in a portfolio and then apply for a different job?

This kind of acting won't get you far in this business mate. If you're not a master don't tell you're one. Tell them you're a junior but say you're resourceful and willing to learn. Don't lie, don't cheat, don't exaggerate facts, learn all you can, master all you can and you'll be fine in this business. If you lie to a customer or employer they'll figure it out sooner or later and your reputation will go down. Don't say you're a master when you're not and get used to the fact that you have to work A LOT and then work a little bit more until you start seeing results.
IM is not for the lazy people. IM is for the creative and hard working people. You don't have to be a genius but you need to be more than the average bear to make it in this jungle.
Just my 2c.

I've heard some successful people mentioning "fake it till you make it", but the same people also say things like "over sell yourself, show you are confident, but make sure that you actually live up to your word"
A good example of faking till you make it that won't end up destroying your reputation, is to imply towards people that your company is a little bit bigger and more experienced than it is, while in reality you only recently started out and have only a couple of customers.
Because as long as you perform top quality work for clients and live up to your word, you will never get busted for exaggerating a bit in your sales speech.
Those initial 5-10 positive feedbacks from clients can be crucial before your business can start growing faster. People in general are biased as fuck, if something is popular, it will automatically sell more (initially at least) than if it has no reviews at all.
At least this is what my experience on outsourcing bureaus tells me, the difference between 3-4 positive feedback comments on your profile and none, is night and day as far as attracting customers go.
