CV looks ok, but as I am more familiar with resume format I am going to give you a little bit of info concerning CVs.

Your biggest obstacle is probably not the cv but the lack of job experience. But someone will be willing to take a chance, just keep looking and search hard!

Before writing a career-change CV, try to spend time researching your preferred industry to get an idea as to what prospective employers will be looking for. This information could encompass: qualifications and software knowledge. Write down a list of keywords to strategically place in your CV to help attract the reader’s attention.

On another note; I noticed a few spelling errors in your CV - particularly where you've used US-English. Before distributing this CV, you should proof read it (more than once) - don't rely on built-in spell checking software that comes with the majority of word processors.
