Actually, just post to dice.com, monster.com or headhunter.net, 
usually the freebsd-jobs lists are for recruiters.

Being 17 years of age is going to bring you bias in the field.  Also
5 years experience on most resumes means you have 5 years in the field
working on live production systems.

Having scriptkiddies run around on your box is not a test of security.
