this is a good list. I would add: do a side project, preferably something in open source on github. Firstly, it will remind you why you love programming. Secondly, should you decide you really need to change things up -- do something outside your comfort zone, technically speaking -- having a record of working on different stuff in your spare time will vastly increase the chances of people believing you have the flexibility and plasticity of mind to tackle something new.
