Java. What projects for middle?

Question

Java

Tell me, please, what kind of project can be implemented so that when applying for a job in the java middle, it can be demonstrated and it displays most of the necessary knowledge? And yes, practice before the interview. There is knowledge of the language (but, of course, still practice and practice, time allows), but there are no serious developments at all.

Answer 1

Once they suggested making an RSS reader with all sorts of goodies in the form of sharing links, notifications about new entries, etc. as a test task. All this on Spring, Hibernate. Elsewhere, it was suggested to implement a plugin for Jira. Yes, there are a lot of tasks.

Answer 2

It is enough to tell what you did in your last job and demonstrate knowledge. Projects are not watched very carefully, as there are quite a few applicants for a position. I would refresh my knowledge if I were you, that's all. If they want to see your code, they will give you a test task.
