The problem is that it's all generic stuff that no employer wants to read: a bunch of babble that boils down to "I need a job".
I guess I just want to have something more to show for my abilities other than a piece of paper. I'm not really a graphic design specialist or anything so I have trouble coming up with slick fancy graphics for my own sites, which is why they usually look blocky. I am much more code oriented and understand more about a site's structure and back-end.
