how am i gonna lie about my expected grad?
how come?
well yeah… i’m just a second semester freshman. I don’t think they’d expect such advanced at this point but I get it

This, grind as many projects as you can as a freshman. They don’t even have to end up completed for you to put on your resume. Just as long as you’ve done enough “meaty” work on them recruiters will only care about what you learned
Also remove relevant courses until you get more of them.
Join computing centric clubs on campus and list them as well

you should take his advice and learn more
and code more
no offence but with Java as your only known language and no other technical skill besides the microsoft suite
nobody's going to hire you over any older student who knows more

ye sure lemme just make it anonymous
my resume isnt good btw
steady fossil
ill prob go do a webscraping project with python to add
wise basalt
mine looks smth like this;
it's pretty shit
but the gist is lots of freshman have experiences / projects / know more dev things so i think you should focus on just improving ur competencies as a dev before applying
grind projects
and stuff
