Here's some more feedback. Your description on your profile here isn't so good. It reads:
about: 31 year old unemployed with 13 years experience. Trying (unsuccessfully) to break in to the IT Sec field. Been hacking and learning security in my free time since I was about sixteen. An enthusiast..
First, remove your age. I can't begin to tell you how unprofessional that makes you look. Second, the entire second sentence makes you look bad - like others have screened you and passed. The fourth sentence doesn't add anything. And finally, you should put in some contact info.
Sorry if I'm coming across a little strong, but I know where you are, I know it sucks and I want to help.
