This will depend on the company you want to work for. Do a search for job openings in the industries you want to work in and then check the skills requirements. Most companies will list their preferred languages there.

Most of the times, companies expect candidates to know one object oriented language. It can be anything like Java, python, etc. Ability to code quickly and without errors is very important for clearing interviews. You should be very good at algorithms & data structures.
So concentrating on a single language like java will do the job?

Yes, it will do the job. Make sure you are very good at it along with algorithms & data structures. You can refer to geeksforgeeks website which has good examples of programming questions asked in interviews.

This depends on where you want to work.
In the game industry, many companies use C# within Unity, or C++ within Unreal 4. Many web games are written in Javascript. If you are going into database programming, you will probably want to learn SQL. Much modern IT work uses Python (I think?), and so on. Take all my answers with a grain of salt -- I have no expertise outside the games industry. However, you get the idea. Research the kind of work you want to do, and focus on the language most used within that field.
