I think most places will give you a shot at an interview at least, and whether you get the job or not will be based on your interview.

We were recently trying to hire someone, and we didn't care what the application said. What we were interested in was Work Experience/Past Projects, Sample Code, and how the interview went. Its easy to get code online or to follow tutorials to create sample projects, but talking to someone generally identifies if they actually know their stuff or not. 

Also as a side note, if you have no Programming-Related work experience, leave it off your resume. That's the one bit that would actually put someone in a negative light before the interview with me... if their previous experience was all something like working at McDonalds. If you don't have any programming-related work experience, list projects you have worked on in the past instead (personal, open source, etc).
