Java Any project ideas for landing a job ?

I know this may be little off topic but I would appreciate some response..
In short, my point is that I graduated 1 year ago and have been learning Java up to now. I have decent knowledge about almost every aspect of this language but I don't know if I will get employed with no experience at all.. So I came up with an idea of creating some sort of project to show off my skills.

My question is: Does anyone have any experience with this kind of stuff ? What are the best options for the project ? Should it be based on a database(backend) with some little frontend, application based or do I need to create some "hierarchy" of related classes to show them I understand OOP concepts..

Thanks for any reply..

Hi there,
Best advice for ya:
Don't worry about the "type" of project and just start coding. Create a portfolio via a code repository like Github/Gitlab/Bitbucket/etc, or create a website to market yourself. Come up with different concepts for websites you can build, and use that for your portfolio as well. To be completely blunt, employers/hiring managers are not going to care about what you create, as long as they can see that you yourself created it, or modified it. Catch-22 though: don't just copy paste someone else's code and call it your own, instead make it your own. Start using different IDEs to get used to them.
