It depends on what you're interested in.

Do you love web development? Build a web app that makes your life a little easier.

Wanna learn mobile? Make a simple iPhone or Android app and put it in an app store.

Maybe that's not what you're looking to do. Try submitting patches to Firefox or a different open source project.

Not only will you learn a TON by following through on something like an iPhone app or fixing a bug in Firefox, but it'll show potential employers your ability to get shit done.

Just try and think about what will make you a unique hire. If you were looking at your resume next to someone else's, come up with something that you would put on yours that would make you hire yourself.

Remember, the people working the jobs you want to do are your peers.
