If you could also show some open source work, it would be a tremendous help. I have been job hunting for well around 2 weeks already, and from what I have noticed is that half of the companies I'm getting interviews with placed a huge emphasis on my open source contributions (however paltry those are). I'm just quite unlucky that my kryptonite has been the combination of a.) These shops all use RoR while I'm a Java guy (currently remedying that), and b.) My SQL experience (or the apparent lack of it, no pun intended, quickly remedying that too).
