My best advice would be to focus on one thing.. pick whatever your strongest set of images are, and focus on developing a powerful set of cohesive images. I just did an interview for a girl looking to intern at our firm, and her images were a scattered mess of random ideas- which really didn't give me an idea of what she really was capable of, or really wanted to accomplish.
-- You have some good images, but they are placed among random sub par ones, and therefore don't have the ability to stand out.Pick a subject that you want to be hired for, say portraits, a particular event, city life, ect - and do your best to make a set of 10 really good images. Each time you shoot, think about what the client would want- and do just that.
Our firm has specialties that we are really good at, and we excel at those- but we do many things. Some good, some not as good- but we built our company through our specific strengths.
My personal sites are just that- personal stuff.. I sell prints, have shows ect- but for my own personal benefit. At the office its a whole different world..
Focus on the core elements of creating images, color, composition, subject matter, and simplify the site down to you best images. Less is sometimes more when it comes to presenting images for client consideration--
And good luck!
