I don't know the answer to most of your questions. It depends on the position you apply for and who is interviewing you. I can tell you without a moment's hesitation you wouldn't get past the interview committee I serve on. Find someplace where you can get the opportunity to learn. Be patient. Put in a few years and study hard. Better to be slow and methodical than to be dumped unceremoniously out the door.
