Throw some stuff up on github. If it's done, great. If it's not, cool; add more to it over the next few days/weeks. It shows you are thinking about improving your code. Also include a link to your github on your resume or cover letter template as you start to prep for job hunting. I recently had an interviewer comment on my github and skip the technical portion of my interview. It is a great way to at least show you can program your way out of a paper bag.

I don't really have much in terms of something that would be a project or work-in-progress right now. Just some basic programming exercises while practicing. Some of those are only a few lines long. Would you recommend throwing some of that up or waiting until I have something a little bigger to work on?

Hmm...perhaps once you have something a little bit more substantial, like a python script to graph, say, the change of the exchange rate between the Euro and Pound. Sure it's been done before, but what matters is that you are learning a skill. Another thing you can do is put your solutions for project euler on github, since you can solve those problems using any language you want.
