My first big project was a text-adventure website. I startet off with the basic html/css layout, then got into form validation for the commands, added some animations with TimeLine, added sounds. Then, after the programm got bigger, I went into local storage for progress saving and item inventory and currently (getting back to it every now and then), I am implementing some user identification and OOP for enemies. Long sotry short, I recommend something easy to begin with which is scaleable.
I'd say building a full-fledged e-commerce could take months, but a simple prototype that could impress some recruiters can be deployed in a week or so. I'd highly recommend to have 'game' project in your resume because it would familiarize you with how events work, some simple mathematics and how to handle collision, things like this.
