What to write in a resume so that there are chances to get somewhere without experience?

Question for IT recruiters or those who interact with them at work.
Actually, everything is honestly written in my resume that I have no experience, I’m learning myself, a stack of technologies that I know, links to my projects (simple because I’m doing a project purely to fix some topic, I don’t have time to write a conditional social network But they are written well, according to feedback from a familiar middle). Of the dozens of responses, there are stupidly no invitations to social security, which I am sure that I would have passed. That is, I am eliminated at the resume stage.
Obviously, due to lack of experience and not a profile tower. I really don’t want to lie, for me it’s a very bad tone.
Can you tell us what else recruiters are looking for? What to write in a resume so that there are at least chances of being invited to social security?

1) We need to respond more (even more)
2) Projects that exist - describe more deliciously. Add a line of experience "private practice", in which projects are described in more detail.
3) Sit down for a more complex project, at least bring it to MVP, deploy it so that the recruiter can "poke around" himself. As an option - a bot for Telegram so as not to write a frontend. Also describe in work experience.
4) Participate in hiring events for juniors from specific companies.
All this does not guarantee employment, but the chances should increase

It is normal that from the first call you were not taken anywhere. There are thousands of people like you, it’s really difficult for a recruit to understand - you are a white-tech specialist or you really want to devote your life to this and will be a promising employee, and don’t screw up after the first week in the office, because “it turns out you have to work here!”. Give resumes more often and do not hesitate to apply for more "serious" positions according to the description, often many skills are overestimated in the requirements, just "just in case, to be", indicate in the letter that "this and this I still don't know how, but I'm ready to learn". Most often, "flickering" sooner or later attached to the office.

Literally a week ago I closed a vacancy in the department, I was looking for a person, including without experience (not according to your profile, though), I first looked at the cover letter and a description of the technologies that the person encountered. If it was a response, and not an offer from the agency, I looked especially carefully.
Seek and you will find.
As rightly noted, do not be afraid to send your resume to vacancies where there is some technology that you have not yet mastered. Usually, the entire stack of technologies involved is indicated in the hope of "what if you get lucky." It happens that most of the employees in the department are quite versatile and a new person can be thrown into any of the technologies used, closing the rest with existing employees. At the initial vacancies, they can look for a person for training, i.e. the technology in the description means rather that it will have to be worked on, and not as a requirement to know it perfectly at the time of hiring.
And send, send, send resume. On HH, linked.in, and other sites. During the last job search, I sent more than 150 resumes and only a dozen made it to the interview, by the way. And I'll notice. I have been in development for many years. But it happens that you are lucky and even the first resume turns into an offer.
"What to write" - I wrote in your last question (if I'm not mistaken), - "Freelance" and a description of my projects there. The fact that they freelanced for themselves is of little concern to anyone, one can say that it is not a lie. And do not be lazy to write a normal cover letter with a short list of what you can do, and for particularly interesting vacancies, do not be lazy to correct this letter to the specific requirements of the vacancy.
Good luck in finding!

Obviously, due to lack of experience and not a specialized tower.
no, it's not obvious. Judging by the previous questions in the summary, a stack that no one needs. Java vacancies should have spring and stuff. They don’t look at education, how many times have we already talked about this.
which I'm sure would pass.
is it the same as in java knowledge? if so, then urgently run to read the educational material,
there are no universal magic phrases to grab right away. And you need to look at a specific resume. Here recently a friend posted his autobiography as a resume. Maybe it's just poorly designed.

Dozens of responses are very few. Previously, when a job was required, I would unsubscribe in bulk by email to various companies for vacancies.
More than a hundred responses, also written in different ways so that they do not fly into spam.
As a result, out of hundreds of responses, I found a couple of options for myself. Also no experience. Without tower. Companies don't give a damn if they need to close a job.
It's just that the vacancies that you see, they are usually created by recruiters to imitate some of their activities. To show the authorities: "Look, I'm working!" They are not interested in hiring anyone there. In many companies, an open vacancy goes to the expense of another specialist, who periodically does something like "for two", and therefore credits himself with the money. Such people are also interested in the absence of a person.
And another moment. On major job exchanges (let's not point fingers), many ads are fake. No one is looked for and never answered. Based on this picture of the world, draw conclusions.

I am not a recruiter, but I will try to give advice.
Try freelancing. Freelance clients usually don't care about resumes.
If you work as a freelancer for six months or a year, you can add the appropriate line about work experience to your resume.
An alternative option is to participate in an open source project. And then you can also write the appropriate line in your resume, in the "work experience" section. A line will appear - there will be chances to slip through HR and get to technical questions at an interview.

Sometimes it doesn't matter what you write. How important is how you write.
I would show a summary, one could point out the main mistakes or vice versa good places.

Write that you have experience

due to lack of experience and non-profile tower
- that's not the reason at all. I once hired a man with no commercial experience or education at all, because I liked his pet project. So six months later, clients from Moscow bought it from me for a lot of money, because it turned out to be strong - a nugget.
Write pet projects and insert links to them in your resume.

It is important not only WHAT to write, but IN WHAT SEQUENCE, and HOW DETAILED. What to place in a conspicuous place, and what not to focus on.
Think this way. Maybe try to shift the balance? More about technology, less about inexperience...

If you really want to get settled, then you have to lie. People like you are at the door of crowded companies. Write about six months or a year of experience in GPC, learn about the principles of working on projects, the principles of working in a team and with tasks, so that you don’t swim from the first question about previous experience. Plus, throw dozens of responses and go through heaps of interviews. Plus, you can do the test ones if you don’t feel sorry for your time. Then, on the basis of the experience of the interviews passed, full of test rounds and with pseudo experience, there will be a greater chance of getting a job.
