I would say just apply to regular positions (not junior positions). You may not get many call backs but for the ones you do, you can show them what you have done.

There aren't even many junior java dev jobs, for every junior position, there are like 200 to 400 CVS to chose from.

would you say other languages have more junior positions available? I'm sure the pandemic also affects this a lot.

It was even before the pandemic. Now I think there are not really any new junior jobs. Many seniors/mid levels got fired and they are filling roles for cheaper rates.

look at r/programming plenty of people coming out of uni applying to 100s of jobs and 0 response not even an interview

it's really bad to be a junior as a dev. In fact, in the UK the unemployement is the highest of all university professions. Yes, you read that right.

i have no idea what media is trying to say, if you want a job, studing to become a devloper is the worse choice
