"Find a friend who runs small software company, bribe him a bit, so you can then easily write that you worked in his company a year."

Why would you want to do this? If you have a friend with software company work for him for a year! Any sw company worth its existence always needs more programmers. You can work at low pay (or even for no pay if you are okw ith it) for a couple of months while you are learning and then get into a fulltime position. With friends you can make such unorthodox arrangements. If you have a friend who owns a software company, use that to learn!

Well, the friend with COMPANY, may have NO REAL positions open. And you may be ALREADY very experienced in technology. So to break through bureaucracies of job agencies/HR departments, you need to apply some grease. Yes it is deception, I know, but it is benign and important one. Your politicians deceive you every second, but keep them, do not you?.
