Informed enough to talk (read bullshit) your way through an interview. Honestly though - think about all of things on your resume that you said you had experience with (when it more of a resume of hope and less of a CV of experience). Was it actual, working knowledge that was applicable to your professional career, or was it passing knowledge from that time you followed a few tutorials?

I don't ask that to denigrate you. I did it. Lots of my peers did it. It's part of this silly game we play for employment. We complain about needing to pad resumes to get our foot in the door, but when we get to make hiring decisions, we automatically bin resumes of students who only put knowledge of one language and a handful of basic tools.
