Identify companies you want/can potentially work for. Find out their skill requirements. Contact them directly - it is worth a shot.

Generally though, and in my neck of the woods - Java is very widely used. So is .Net (mostly C#), Python and JavaScript.

If I had to start again like you, I would go hard on Python first. It is relatively easier, and there is also the great potential to build your own apps with it. Potential employers are easily impressed with personal projects.
