I've seen quite a few showreels over the years (mainly for inspiration). What they all have in common is instant impact. They make you sit up from the very first second.
If you consider this to be the equivalent of a CV, then you need to impress someone that won't really be paying attention. When I've read CV's in the past, I've always accepted or rejected on first scans.
I watched your showreel with that in mind. I made it to the point where the music kicked in, but I'd already lost interest and switched off. This is where it should have started. Relentless, non stop, no pauses, no fades to black... just pure 100% entertainment. They don't want to know anything other than how talented you are.
