I'll second Leon's suggestion that you describe the pcbs that you have made.
Mentioning your use of EAGLE is a two edged sword. On one hand it says that
you are familiar with the pcb layout and design process, but on the other
hand, it says you will have to "unlearn" the unique commands of EAGLE. Old
habits die hard.
Your skills would be more desirable if you were able to use one of the more
mainstream commercial pcb programs.
