I am kind of in the same boat, I just don't have much experience + that I don't have a portfolio and don't write application letters.
I clearly doing something wrong

revisit the logo. looks like those picture i used to draw of fat bending over and buthole poking out. sorry.
1st thing i thought of

well the pdf worked(opened but it didn't speak the kind of typography that a designer should portray. The little thumbnails of photography don't convince me that your focused on design and an objective should be one sentence or just loss it completely.

I would say modify the logo. It's true that the 2 sections especially at different sizes confuse the focus of your work. If you are going to use those small thumbnails maybe have a small div or at least an alt description come up that explains what your clicking on. Maybe something that lets you know which ones you've already seen. The HTML could be coded a lot more efficiently. Maybe employers will look at that. I can't imagine have each one of those pages as an HTML page. You could save time having someone that knows PHP or somthing similar help you make the site a bit more dynamic. All those work pages could be one page. If I was an employer I might want to see more info about you also.

I think I'll be repeating what some have already said, but make your best work more front and centre.
Maybe redesign a little, and pick a small handful of your best work and put up "featured projects" with a little blurb about the project.
Put your best work front and center/bigger, if they like that they'll dig into the other pieces you have.
Make the photos secondary. As an avid amateur photographer/web designer, I know that people like my photography but if they are hiring me it's about the web skills first, and the photography shows versatility as an asset to what they are looking for.

Yes, definitely have your strongest piece at a viewable size present first thing. Then this space swaps out other works as you click on thumbnails.

depends on what type of company you want to look for.
also:
location, location, location.
then network.
seriously.

no offense, you don't really come across well to me. the logo is way too happy. looks like something for a gay walk-a-thon for cancer. sorry, you asked.
how about more textual content explaining yourself and such
:)

It's probably been stated but employers have very little time to go through your work to find what they like. So maybe start taking out everything but you best pieces and have a featured work on a well organized front page. Think about what they would want to see and lead them through it.
