I don't mean to be harsh, but it seems like you've been asking about this for a while now, this is the third or fourth of your posts on here asking about whether you should apply for jobs, the first one was at least 6 weeks ago. Have you actually applied to any jobs since then?
I realize it's a big step (especially coming from where you're coming from), but at some point you just have to take the leap. Nobody here can tell you whether you have a chance of getting hired without knowing you or your work.
It's also impossible to judge whether your current portfolio will help or your chances without actually seeing it. If it's good it might help. If it's not so good, it might even hurt your chances. If you haven't shared any links here because you're afraid of possible criticism, consider the fact that any potential employers you send it to will also be judging it but instead of giving you feedback it'll just land your resume in the trash so you won't learn what you need to improve.
In a nutshell, my advice to you:
Stop thinking/worrying about applying and start applying!
Post links to your portfolio here so you can get some real feedback from the community

This -- if you apply for a job, the worst thing that can happen is that you don't get it. If you don't apply, you're guaranteed not to get it.
