Most candidates seem to have some experience, even in junior positions. It may be an internship, or short-term job they had. Though, the more junior somebody is the less I consider experience. Letting them talk about their position usually helps though, even if it was only for a few months.

Don't lie about what you did, give an honest assessment, or factual, of how you saw your position. It's easy to see through bravado and nonsense. Plus, you want the interviewer to understand where you are now.
