What kind of projects would you recommend
I would say to RIP OFF finished projects working designs and not mention to interviewers the inspiration source (magazine, web, book) and use phrases : "my sister wanted a XXXX so i thought about it and ZZZZ", "a guy at a small store wanted a XXXX so i thought about it and ZZZZ", "My mom wanted a better way to do XXX so i thought about it and ZZZZ", I wanted to impress friends with a cool creation so I made ZZZ.
hackaday.com is unread by many interviewers, and has years of stuff for you to copy
I am positive that few would know about hackaday.com, though straight up arm-32 exposure with some C should still be your main goal, not PIC, not arduino, not 8 or 16 bit stuff.
Then put the pile of your james bond gadgets in plastic housings with some visibility to the insides for some, and carry them in briefcase to your interview.
hopefully you pick some amusing projects they did not know were in Nuts and Volts style magazines. https://www.nutsvolts.com or did not know about ODROID magazines (big solutions) https://magazine.odroid.com/
odroid and Nuts and Volts both ceased publication MOMENTARILY about a year ago.
20 years ago there were 15 electronics magazines, now probably 4
also...
As for game boy, I misspoke and should have typed "GAME BOY ADVANCE", and C with very very little assembly is what you want to learn.

Hmmm, plagerising like that would be a bit scummy, also if I copied someone else's project I'd risk being hired for a job I'm woefully unprepared for. I do like hackaday though so those give me a good idea of the kind of thing I should be making.

Got it. That actually sounds like a really fun project, I'll give it a go.
