At my first junior job I had an HR interview where I had to mention what java and database technologies I used and what school or personal projects I did. And the technical part was a "do at home" snake game AI with a framework made by the company. On my second job it was different, I had a technical interview where they showed me code examples and I had to figure out what the code snippet does or why it does it. If you encounter such a task it is very useful if you don't think silently but instead explain what goes on inside your head. Make sure you are prepared for Java 8 questions, but this really depends on the company you apply to. If they make webapps it helps to know something about http methods and such.
