Honestly, I would expect someone with the qualifications you listed to be able to easily get a job at a highly desired company (fb, MS, google, fogcreek, etc).

Only having experience with a scripting language can easily land someone a job. I don't know anyone that is good at javascript or PHP that is also out of a job.

I don't know anything about algorithms, how to write a bubble sort, and I refuse to do anything open source. Still, I've always had a good job and even now have a decently successful consulting practice.
