Hi,
I'm Wiktor, I'm 20 years old and I'm from Poland.<p>Soon I'll have school leaving exams and then 4 months of summer break. I'd like to get the most out of it so I plan to get the internship as a developer. In my area, there are no companies looking for interns, so I think I'll have to work remotely or abroad.<p>I've been programming for around 8 years now and got some experience (personal projects, open source, and occasional freelance) in C++, C#, Java (on Android), PHP, RoR, Python, and Golang. I also know how to work with Git. I'm not a specialist in one specific language, but I'm acquainted with many of them and I learn quickly.<p>Recently I created my resume and refreshed my projects on GitHub (added screenshots, so interested people can see it right away). I will link to my resume and GitHub page below.<p>What do you think I should do now? Should I focus on one technology/language and try to get the internship in it or try with everything I'm familiar with. I don't have one favorite language (it often changes) so I don't see a problem with it.
Should I change something in my resume or on my GitHub? Should I learn something new before applying? Just looking for tips to be prepared for it.<p>Looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks for the help.<p>Resume: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/88843294/resume.pdf

Go outside and enjoy your youth. You'll have time to program once you're in a 9-5, but you won't be able to play a pickup basketball game with your friends. When you wake up on your 40th birthday, you're not going to wish you had spent more time programming computers 20 years ago.
You could also try searching for jobs in some bigger Polish cities with a large IT job market. If you plan to move somewhere for college, you could try working there throughout the summer to get to know the city before the academic year.<p>Good luck with the search! (And with your finals in May!)

Have you considered Google Summer of Code?? They start accepting student applications on March 20th.<p><a href="https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/" rel="nofollow">https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/</a>
