If you're applying for full-time jobs and having no luck, there must be a reason for this. Providing there is a suitable candidate of those interviewed, the best one will always be selected. You have demonstrated enthusiasm to get into the world of work on this forum, so I have no doubt that you would convey this within an interview as well. Whilst I agree that the work you are doing at present will work well in your favour, there are ways in which you can pack out your CV with other things to increase your chances of you being the best candidate.
I really do agree with aureolin. Going to a night class to obtain another qualification or two could demonstrate how you are keen to expand your knowledge - especially if you have done this off your own back opposed to the job centre 'suggesting' it to you. Have you undertaken any voluntary work recently? Prior to getting into the world of work myself, I had undertaken five weeks of voluntary work experience in total (with one week being organised through Connexions in school). I think this really helped me out in my interview, as I had a hell of a lot to talk about!
