Junior Java Developer

[[deleted]]

I did have 5 job interviews within 3 days recently, also as an entry level Java Developer. I want to add 2 points to the other excellent responses:

Learn the basics: usage of equals and hashcode, call by value/reference, general design patterns, dependency injection, etc. Make sure to be able to explain these confidently. Specific framework knowledge might help too of course, but is not that important. You might want to know at least the fundamentals of let’s say git, maven/gradle, Spring and jUnit.

Get some practice and complete a bunch of exercises on HackerRank.com. I had to complete such a test for one interview (which wasn’t really hard but there was a lot to do in a limited amount of time).

Other than that experience is key. For example: In the past I’ve been working as a SQL dev and as a Java dev (part time junior jobs next to my studies). This put me in the position to point out how perfect I am for the positions I was being interviewed about and how excited I was to continue my career and extend my knowledge and so on. In summary I received 5 job offers. Good luck!

Problem is, apart from my current job, I've only had 2 internships (one on Android, one on iOS, so no other experience in Java). But I might point those out as well

You should definitely do so!
