If you're looking at commercial agencies, none of this work is really commercial. I mean the advertisement for the perfume.. if it weren't written underneath I would have no idea it's even for perfume. A lot of your type is hard to read, on more than one occasion I had to look at the title of the project underneath just to understand what the the word in the picture said. Your websites you designed are nice, though.
On some things you say "branding" as the project type.. but if you just made the logo it's not branding, that's making an identity. By saying branding, you are suggesting that you did the logo and came up with and detailed how customers should feel about this product or service. You should make it clear exactly what you did for each project.
Do you have people skills? Being a talented designer is only part of the equation. You need people skills, technical skills, and you have to be business savvy if you're working in a commercial agency. They wouldn't want you talking to customers as a senior designer unless you can show you have people skills.
But those are just my thoughts, and as you know, it's just an opinion.
