Heh, well if you are fitting warp core stabs there is your first problem, they completely ruin your day if you try to pvp with them. Are you sure you were being jammed and it wasnt just the stabs had nerfed your targetting range to nothing?? They are especially useless now that pirates have a new toy - the heavy interdictor - which ignores them. The warp core operation skill only effects how much cap you use when you warp, nothing else.
If you are going up against a single older player it is very unlikely they will be able to jam you, tackle you, tank sentry guns and have dps to kill you all at once. If its not a single player then the issue is that you are outnumbered, not that they have more sp (4 or 5 very new players will be just as invincible agaisnt a solo high sp enemy not set up for them).
Unless you have only been training learning or industrial skills at 3.5 mil sp you should be competitive. Basically in eve skill training is all about diminishing returns unless you need a skill to use a certain mod/fly a certain ship. Put you with 3.5 mil sp and a vet with 40 mil sp into the same cruiser or bc and there is every possibility you could win.
I do not know whether you want to pvp, or if you want to pve but be able to defend yourself in pvp. If the former you simply need to pick something to specialise in, say electronic warfare. 6 months down the line you would be pretty much at the same level as most vets unless they themselves really specialized. As you could only do one thing you would also catch up on experience. If you are more of a pve guy it is harder to specialize, but a few rules are worth following.
Never use autopilot in lo-sec.
Have a scout wherever possible.
Fit to run OR fight, not both (no wcs on a ship you might fight in!)
If you keep having the same problem fit to counter it (if you keep getting jammed fit eccm for example)
Check the in game map for ship kills/pod kills/players in system along travel routes. If lots of people have died in the system in the last hour dont go there.
Most of all eve is a multiplayer game, so get freinds. Whether they help you fight, provide intel, scout for you or just help you replace losses faster, eve is a lot easier with them.
