Open source projects and a blog are very helpful. As are personal projects and such.
Your resume:
1. the English is bad ("I want to work in a placewhere I am able to put into practice my knowledge"). Improve. You can't have bad English in your resume. The French "accent" isn't helping, it'll just make people wince.
2. Introductory paragraph: you talk about YOU, but who cares what you want? You should talk about how you can help a company. What kind of company do you want to work in?
3. Your latest job looks interesting, put more interesting details about it in your resume.
