Hey your resume looks impressive. Can you tell me how you made the resume? Latex or anything? The design and presentation of skills is great! I'm 20 too and want to update my resume.

I think he used InDesign or some other software like that.

Since he's from Slovakia, does he have the visa status to work in the US? Will a startup go through H1-B process for a summer intern? Also, if he doesn't go through the formal visa process and tries to do his summer internship with a visitor visa, he may be banned from the US for 10 years. Given that he's publicly publicizing coming to the US to work, it would be very easy for USCIS to block his entry into the US.

Having just got a J1 visa myself, he'd be well served with J1. It lets you work in the US for up to 6 months in an internship. Might still be time!

I think it takes time though to apply for the J1 visa. I remember the process to get mine being 6-7 weeks and I was interning for a UC university, meaning they have 'easy' access to it.

Why do you want to intern? Seems like with your skills you could just work (and get paid for) a real job.

I don't know if that's the case here, but a lot of European colleges require summer internships. Compensation is sometimes permitted, but status of employment must be an internship.

Congrats. You put a lot of American job seeking college kids to shame.

I'm a 20yo college student...definitely feeling inferior for not being this proactive as a high schooler. But I'm currently in my second internship and I can definitely say I got hired because of personal projects such as this that highlight your skills and your interest in using those skills inside and outside of class/work environments, so great job and good luck!

You should remove the word "with" from those titles - the bullet points don't flow properly when appended to the titles

Listen to this person. This is the one glaring thing I noticed, it makes your wording sound stereotypically Eastern European, and is jarring in comparison to a document that otherwise flows quite well.
