0. Not having a job and not seeing any / many advertised with your particular skillset is frustrating and decidedly scary. 1. A sample size of 1 does not provide sufficient degrees of freedom to reliably predict a trend. 2. If you don't know .NET, and they don't use CF, you did very well (imo) to get a job interview there. Well done! 3. Learn .NET and get a job using it. Then once entrenched, show them how much quicker and easier you can do stuff in CF and convert them. Or maybe you'll have so much fun using and learning .NET, earning money, with an extra -framework- and/or language in your quiver, that it won't matter. 4. .NET is a framework, not a language. It's like saying "do you use CF", and having them reply "Nah we use Fusebox". 5. Bluedragon has a CFML engine for .NET. So you could easily show them the coolness of CF whilst maintaining their .NET focus.
Will, I wish you all the best in finding employment at this time of year.
