Courses \ internship for a java programmer?

Question

Java

Good afternoon.
A year ago, I was intensively studying java. Wrote small programs and did various tasks. I also studied Android in parallel, I even wrote a couple of programs for people using it. Then I had to freeze the study of java (So I periodically read some articles on it). Due to life circumstances, I could not try myself as a java programmer then. But I still had the desire to become one, so I decided to go all the way to the end.
I know the basics of java and I’m already not a beginner (in terms of learning), I need to pull up flows and patterns, well, and refresh my knowledge in general. What is the best way to do this in a short time (3-6 months)? There are many java courses with an internship on the Internet, maybe someone knows a really worthwhile course? And is it really possible to get a job after them? Does it make sense to bother with them?

Answer 1

Let's start with the fact that any courses are nothing more than one of the many ways to "honestly take money from the population." In real life, courses do not provide any knowledge and employers are well aware of this. Start by applying your knowledge to what you do, if possible. If you work not in an office, but at a construction site or as a plumber, it will be problematic to do this, but it’s also possible, talk to your master, maybe he needs to program something for work. Otherwise, look for a part-time job on freelance services.
If you do not work, go to offices, offer your services, you can even for free, but do not sign any contracts and agreements, then you retain the legal right to everything that you do

Answer 2

Write your own project, this will give you both the necessary knowledge and a repository with your code on GitHub (and employers today look there first of all).
The project can be anything: a small game, an android application, a backend for a service, in general, anything.

What city are you from? Large firms often have school/internship programs with job opportunities.
