I have an application I made and I would like to be able to send it to
possible employers as an example of my work so the file will be going to very
software savy people.

VS.net creates an EXE of your application as we all know.
I can give it a strong name with sn.exe

Is this good enough to protect my code? or do I even need the strong name?

It can help prove it is your code, but is not 100%. Someone could resign
the exe by changing the public key string in the header and resign using sn.
Now which person actually wrote the code? I don't think you will run into
that issue with people your dealing with, however signing is easy and free
so no harm to sign it.

Maybe you can also modify your code and recompile it so it will work
only until a given date.
