Not having any luck getting a junior developer postion

#1
Hey, I been trying to get a junior developer position, but haven't had any luck. Here is my resume: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8b4MJypbW9YSHQyeFo4RDN3djA/view?usp=sharing, What's wrong with it? How do I improve it? I dropped out of school so I didn't bother putting in anything for education.

Do you have any code up on Github, Bitbucket, Sourceforge, etc? If so, and you don't have a lot of formal schooling, emphasize actual code. If you don't, start working on some personal projects and put them up on GH or whatever, so you'll have something to show prospective employers.

Sorry, just updated my link. Yes I do have gitHub. I have some projects on it.
