An excellent idea Mark! This definitely helps demonstrate your skills.
Also, consider starting a Cold Fusion users group in your area. Announce on
CF-TALK that you wish to start one in your area and give a date and time of
the first meeting. Encourage "newbies" and non-CF developers to attend to
hear what it's all about then give a quick Intro to CF presentation to help
get others started. Once they see how easy it is to get started, you'll
have a group to work with and can start growing.

Build a web site demonstrating your skills in HTML, ColdFusion, and SQL.
The best way to learn is to teach someone else, so, perhaps you can put
together a tutorial site for other newbies.
But anyway, by building the site, you will be accomplishing two things:
first off, you'll have created a good web site. Secondly, your potential
employer should have no doubts that you know your stuff.
In other words, do this, and I can pretty much guarantee that you're going
to get a job.
