The best thing to do is take a job that can suit your current situation. If you are just out of college, then something like this sounds like it's a good idea as a starting point. While you're working on CF, keep up your skills on what you know.
The thing that you need to do is keep an eye on the job ads around your way and see what they are looking for as far as languages and experience goes. Look into learning new languages that suit what's being asked for, and do some projects for yourself in those. This will show that you can learn new technologies, and that you can adapt to whatever an employer needs you to.
Most places want you to know the language before you start, but they also recognise that for a good programmer it's more about the ability to solve problems rather then just churn out 1,000's of lines of code that's second-rate.
