Just write code. Work on open source projects, blog, twitter, and keep a GitHub account with interesting projects in it.
I know that many jobs may hire by running "grep" on hundreds of resumes, but I don't think those jobs are the good ones. I think the good jobs want to hire your brain, not for any particular language, but for the overall value you can add to the company.
Working on open source projects and posting your own projects on sites like GitHub demonstrate your ability to understand architecture and write good code in any language.
This is what I'm looking for anyway, and it seems to be what Google is trying to get at with all the silly questions they ask during interviews. How good is your brain?
