Stop being so honest and play the game. The game is getting an interview. That's all your resume is for. Do you have a job, any job? A lot of places won't even consider you if you aren't already employed. Do you have a list of buzzwords near the top of your resume? Many places receive so many resumes that automated filters are used to search through them, usually by buzzword. If I were hiring you it would be for an entry level web developer position. If you like to see something happen when you click a button you are more of a developer than a designer. Red flag - Misuse of css classes. * Classes are about the meaning, not the content. What if you want to use # instead of *? Do you change all the class names to "hashtag"? If I were interviewing you this is something I would ask about.

Red flag - Misuse of css classes. * I'd also ask if that markup was necessary. Is it to represent a bullet? If so, that's already implied in the markup by the use of <li>, so a more semantic implementation would be to skip the markup completely, and either style it visually with list-style-image, or inject the star with the css pseudo-element ::before. I'd also look at <h2 class="big">, and ask whether the class is needed, and the visual separators @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@. To a screen-reader user this would read "at at at at at at at at at at at at at at" etc. These certainly wouldn't be deal-breakers for a hiring decision, but it would have me leaning towards a junior position for a candidate, and setting a goal of developing knowledge of semantic markup and accessibility.
