I got my Bachelor's in computer science. Can't find any entry level jobs at least not near me. Pickings are extra slim likely thanks to COVID 19. I'm worried my programming skills might get rusty since school ended. Which programming languages do you recommend I try to keep sharp?

I was thinking Python and JavaScript. And maybe try to learn how to finally use GitHub and LinkedIn.

python
C#.Net
mysql
PHP
javascript
C (maybe)

Mostly C++, Python, MySQL, some Android app development although I don't remember anything from that one, and some Java.
I'm not sure what you mean by employable skills.

Java, C#, Python, C++, JavaScript, TypeScript for general high demand work.

Kotlin and Swift for native mobile development.

Rust and Go for new niche languages.

Once you know a C (Java, C++, C#) based program, then you know them all. Python is pretty good as well.

IMO, go for Python or C# (plus .net core). You can easily find jobs focusing on these two programs. I

I tried Go for a short while. Having a built-in server was nice, and the main reason I was attracted to it. I forget why I dropped it.

Program in Java like you would in C and you'll be writing garbage.

Well, it's a good start, but it's not really a full toolkit. There are quite a number of Ada-like languages that are still mkre popular than you might think, plus functional programming and imperative programming are completely different paradigms, and there are loads of specific-purpose languages like SQL or P that learning C doesn't help all that much with.
