This is a billion and one times better than sending your resume and contacting a recruiter. You leverage the power of the community and showcase that you actually do have competent skills. The only negative I notice, is that among the skills you showcase, proofreading is not one of them. Hah!

Anyways, if you did this to intern where I work, I'd give you an internship position in a heartbeat. Wish you all the luck to get what you want fellow hacker. Thumbs up.




>proofreading skills

I'm pretty sure he's from the Netherlands, so he definitely probably isn't a native speaker.

That doesn't mean that he shouldn't fix the mistakes. I'm just saying that he needs to proofread ;)
