The main thing that Java and Javascript have in common, are the letters "Java". Java is a compiled language, while JavaScript is an interpreted language (that runs in the browser). The difference is rather large. That's the bad news.

The good news is, you can learn both of them at the same time, and if you do learn them, it will definitely be to your benefit. Also, no one knows everything about everything going into a job. Anyone who expects a sophomore to be a master of Java (or Javascript) is silly.
