First and foremost, you can not take care of other peoples needs until you are able first take care of your own. People asking you to do free sites etc should either pay you for your time or understandibly wait until you have stable employment to pay your bills.
Appearance is unfortunately a major factor, even if it is a predudicial factor.
Many employers are looking for willingness to conform with thier image even before you know what thier expectations are.
Your best opportunity to get a tech job (from an employer's view) is to have a business hair cut, clean shaven and a collared shirt (ironed) dress pants (ironed) a belt and shoes.
Techs often have to deal with customers, they represent the company's image. They do not necessarily have to communicate well with the customer, but they do need to have effective notes so a manager can review and attend to circumstances on a case by case basis
If you have troubles with verbal comunication, point out that strength is your good note taking skills and your ability to properly assess and troubleshoot a problem.
