Context: I've been building web sites and applications since the mid-90s and I'm currently managing a team of 15 web application engineers at PayPal. First, a little honesty: in 2014, it's going to be extremely difficult to get a "developer" job with only "basic Javascript" knowledge. It's not that HTML and CSS are bad skills. Rather, in today's market, together they do not constitute enough technical skill to be an effective contributor to a development team. Given that, no, I would not hire you as a developer--at least not today. Going further, you've shared screenshots of designs you've created. If you're looking for a developer position, I'd expect you to be sharing something like a GitHub link to code projects you've worked on. What you've shared resembles a design portfolio and I would treat it as such. Not that there's anything wrong with a design / developer hybrid (certainly many folks in web development began or continue to work that way). However, you haven't provided any evidence that you're actually capable of any sort of development. I'm not saying any of this to be discouraging; you asked a question and I want to give you an honest answer. If you're truly interested in getting into the world of development, you should spend time with Javascript (or any other programming language that suits your fancy--JS just happens to be a natural fit for "front-end development"). Work on some projects, create a Github account to share your code, and start looking for an internship or junior level position to get some real work experience. Good luck on your journey!
