it's been a month of job hunting with no real progress except getting first time calls from the smaller local companies, I decided to take a look at my resume and I figured out that I might be applying the wrong way,

I am applying for a web developer job but I only have work experience in IT support, the closest I have to web development is freelancing( I was really that desperate, lol)

with no university degree and parents that constantly remind me that I am no longer in school like my "mates". I'm trying so hard to be able to fucking prove myself.

I got called by three companies while I was away on unpaid labor with my dad, refused to release me. I thought they would always keep coming that way, I was totally wrong, I'm fucking stupid

I should have put my foot down and stood by my own decision but I was a chicken

this sucks, this "job search" territory and the disappointments that come with it is new to me, I just want to be anything at this point, anything that pays

    Probably should make sure your email, address, name, institutions are scrubbed

    There are a number of problems that are long to list. Instead I shared a CV I used for my last job with you. Scrubbed some details.

    Your CV also doesn't open correctly on Google docs which suggests it's not easy to parse it, and that could be quite a big problem as recruiters use software to find CVS and automate searching for them.

    Content wise there is nothing in there that would interest a potential employer. You listed some good skills, but a little short. Your job details are completely missing. Employers want to know what you did there, what you learned and achieved. What your brought to the company. There's no personal details or anything about you on the page, and a lot of wasted space.

    Finally the colour scheme is hard on the eyes and things like that give an unprofessional or 'basic' impression.

    Bit heavy criticism but hope that helps. All opinion at the end of the day.
