You are missing knowledge (Spring, in your example). But you are saying that "I can grasp in on the job" ? Given a two years gap, you should invest the time and effort in learning whatever it is the market is seeing demand in. Consider the employer's perspective. Given two equivalent candidates, where one of them know Spring, but the other needs a month or so to learn it. They'll go with the one that already knows that. That attitude of I can learn on the job is likely hurting your prospects. The CV in the website is also really bare bones. Basically, nothing relevant there. The old one appears to at least show the employment history. The website link from GitHub is erroring. The website you linked looks bad, Geocities bad. The GitHub profile itself is really bare bones. The first non-forked repository I saw was literally hello world (hidden by many layers).
