How can I make myself stand out as an elementary teacher?

I have my BA in Education Studies and have my (pending) certification. It would be complete certification if I could get a job and complete my KTIP (for KY teachers). The problem is, I can't get a teaching job. How can I make myself stand out to principals and employers? I am thinking of either getting my ESL endorsement or continuing to learn Chinese (Mandarin) - which I have JUST started to learn. Which would be best? Other ideas? Thanks!
