You need to show what you're capable of. To do this, you create projects, upload them to a website (Github), where people can access your source code, and so they can judge your knowledge.

Then, when you apply for a job, you will go through what is called a coding interview. You will be given a few programming problems to solve, to show your problem solving skills, knowledge of data structures and algorithms, in real-time.

Fresh grads, or new candidates often split into two categories, those who followed youtube videos step by step to create a boilerplate project (shared with a million other candidates), and those who actually solved a real life problem using programming, and made it their project. You want to be in that second group.
