 If so, I'm wondering how different this is compared to:

I'm looking for a musician with some real experience, preferably with
record deals and verifiable quality to play at my bbq.
Ideally will also assist with grilling and cleanup.
Experience mixing drinks a plus.
Entertaining personality is a must.
Please provide own transportation, setup and sound equipment.
This is just a one-day event, and all my friends will be there so please be
punctual.
Thanks, we'll give you good references and since I have a lot of friends,
you might get some work out of it.  And who knows, I could always throw
some more parties in the future so there's a lot in it for you.

ps. this is not a personal attack, I'm seriously wondering if this is what
current CS grads have to look forward to.  My High School son is working
right now for $9/hr and I have to give him good advice on what career path
to follow.
