Where were you looking? I've listed myself on several job sites as
interested strictly in doing Unix system administration or coding C
or C++ in a Unix environment and I've had to explain to no fewer
than ten (different) headhunters over the past year that I was
hoping for a three month contract spanning June to September, as
I was still a student. And yes, they really were offering Unix
system administration or coding positions, unless they were flat-out
lying to me.
(Here's a tip for any PLUG member who's in the same situation: only
bother doing this to get experience dealing with headhunters. They
will *never* send you out on an interview if you're a full time
student. They will, on the other hand, want names of your friends
in the graduating class. This is why we call them headhunters.)
