I'm strapped for cash this month and was hoping to put some of my Windows server administration skills to use. Thing is, I don't know where to look for freelance jobs. I've already looked at Webhostingtalk, but there's not much there. GetAFreelancer is similarly barren.

Anybody know of any good sites to find this kind of stuff?

(Not knowing what you know...) Look for the Exchange admin/Sharepoint admin/SQL admin type jobs on dice. Also, onforce.com is good for some cash, depending on your population.

Odesk.com may have some leads, as well as rentacoder.

Craigslist tech support/system admin temp/contract jobs are also pretty easy if you sell yourself quickly.

If all else fails, you could always phish!
 
I have gotten some jobs thru craigslist, but you have to be careful; If you browse it over the course of a week or 2, you will figure out which postings are legit. Some people post ads to try to scam you for your personal info or make you click thru to what eventually becomes a cpa offer; others are from recruiters posting fake jobs to build their applicant pool and/or disqualify x number of candidates in the US so they can justify an offshore candidate.

Also, spammers will post white or yellow text to try to beat the filters, so highlight the page before you respond.

Other places to find jobs include dice.com and sitepoint marketplace.
