You did not say what kind of job you were looking for, or I missed it? I think it looks ok overall, think it is fine. You may need to tailor it more for specific jobs that you apply to.

If you have IT skills then I would say go ahead and apply for this field,a nd either take it upon yourself to study HTML independently so you can pick up what you need to know, or see if your company, once hired, offers any training or tuition reimbursement for school. In the IT field, HTML is pretty basic so you may have to take it upon yourself to learn the basics for now.
