You’re heading in the right direction.

I’m a recruiter and a Python programmer. Lots of people ask me “How do I get a 
job?”, or “How do I transition from some other career path?”.

The answer is always the same …. there’s one answer that will always work …. be 
so remarkable, so outstanding, that employers cannot ignore you.

The shorte3st path to this is to contribute to a *major* open source project 
using the technologies you want to be working with.  So for example, if you 
want to work with Django - go and fix 100 bugs on the Django list, then list 
them on your resume.

Write about it.

Not much more to it than that. Any employer that uses a given technology, if it 
finds a local contributor to open source code it uses, will jump at the chance 
to interview you.
