I am currently majoring in computer science. I have learned the basics of java and C++, however I certainly do not feel confident saying I "know" those languages. My question is, what should I learn to land an entry-level job as a software developer? I feel like most job requirement list 4-5 languages, but what specifically in these languages should I know how to do? What languages and concepts should I know thoroughly? And, if you can recommend some books to learn from, that would be helpful as well.

Hey guys, I am trying to get my first job as a software developer. I have about 5 years of experience in programming "I,ve been doing it on and off since highschool". However I am currently in college studying computer science. I want to get a part time job or internship as a developer to start gaining experience before I graduate. I know python, java, and C# programming languages. I want to make a sample program to show my skills to people when I apply. Does anyone have any ideas of what type of program would be good to have on a resume? what should the program do, and what type of features would it be good to have? any advice would be appreciated.

So I've been told that there are certain words that you should put onto online applications. Apparently, as companies get so many applications, companies use a software that goes through application forms and checks for certain "words" to shortlist the applicants. Has anyone else heard of this?? If so what info can you give me because I can't fine anything online about this. Links to websites would be useful. Thanks in advance :)
