    First Impressions:
    I'd say, at the very least change your splash site on your site or make it link directly to the work. Your work is nice but at first glance, as soon as I clicked your link, I thought I was looking at something unfinished or amateur and almost didn't explore further. Make your best pieces of work the very first thing you see when I go to your link.

    Jack of all trades:
    It's a good thing but if you're looking for a full-time gig somewhere, you may want to highlight one thing specifically, and showcase everything else as an added bonus. The initial step to get a foot in the door is likely going to be through a recruiter who has no clue what the actual position entails, only that you have what they've been asked to find via "words" (lol, my wife is a recruiter / HR). If you're listing too many things, it's just clouding up everything in a pool of 100 other candidates. You're just trying to get noticed first.

    LinkedIn:
    It is what you make of it. I find it extremely valuable as someone who is self-employed. I pay $60 a month because it's worth every penny of that to me. Half of my clients have come from it. I use it more than Facebook, at least an hour a day. I see postings for people looking for someone like you everyday.

    Headhunters:
    As with anything, some are good, some are not-so-good. If it's helping you in any way, I don't see how that could be a bad thing.

    • Wait - what do you pay Linkedin $60 a month for?
