Got my first industry programming job by posting on here about a year ago. I'd just graduated uni and was looking for a serious gig.
It took three or four posts over two months before I finally was starting to get decent offers. The ads that failed were generic, didn't market my skills well, and weren't specific enough as to what I actually needed, thus I got lots of Rev-Share-only offers, lots of $400 a week offers, and lots of "exposure" offers. There were a few offers for positions I was in no way qualified for, either.
For reference, this and this were my unsuccessful ads, this was my successful one.
I'm actually just now starting to look for a new job (my contract is up), and revamp my portfolio site, and my general advice is:
Bonus: If you're a programmer, get "Cracking the Coding Interview". It is amazing and will help you figure out what potential employers are looking for.
edit: ._. oh. This is a bit old. Oh well. Hopefully someone'll see it and get something from it.
If you have an NVidia GPU, I recommend checking out NVidia Shadowplay
Do the videos jitter before you upload them to YouTube? I am assuming they do, but if they don't my solution below likely won't help.
If the problem is the typical problem (Recording jitter due to competing resources for capture and running the game simultaneously) the best solution is a hardware solution:

I have one of these and would be happy to capture video for you if you'd like in exchange for that $50. But it would probably be a better deal to just buy one yourself for ~$140.

I'm in the same situation as you and can recommend some good books I started reading:
The C++ Programming Language
Effective C++
Effective Modern C++
You can also find other good books here -> http://stackoverflow.com/questions/388242/the-definitive-c-book-guide-and-list
It's a small print run right now, and I (obviously) don't have the money to do a book tour, but I am talking to the publisher (CRC Press) about other ways to promote the book. Here's the amazon link, I think it becomes available in just a few hours.
