If you want to stand out, learn how to program JavaScript without the use of jQuery. Learn about cross-browser DOM scripting, browser performance, security, and JS fundamentals (prototypes, closures, etc...). Some good books to get started are Pro JavaScript Techniques and JavaScript: The Good Parts
What really helped me get my head around js and oop was Resig's book
For day-to-day issues and stuff I also use w3schools.com, especially their Javascript Reference
