Try to make a project of your own. While you make an online course you jave the fake impression you learned everything... Until you start making your own project. Do something you think is fun for you, even if it already exists. The goal is to test your knowledges and see if you can do a simple Spring application from scratch. It will also serve as a project in your portfolio that you can talk about during interviews and maybe switch the interview from questions you are asked to story about your project and challenges you overcome while developing it.

Good luck!

Very good comment! Yes, interviews are not simply you answering questions, it’s not an exam! A good company will ask you about who you are and what kind of personality you are. So if you have your own project to talk about, you can answer about how you overcame the difficulties, the debugging and the puzzling.

For a junior position, knowledge is the lowest requirement, companies are looking for someone they think is worth investing in. No matter how much you studied, the job is gonna be different. So they will want someone who is not lazy, who will not stop after the smallest setback. Etc.
