How hard is it to find an internship?

blog

I’ve been looking for a summer internship and I haven’t really found anything sor far. Although I’ve had some interviews with some start ups from the Silicon Valley (including TrueVault that really seemed like a good fit for a cryptographer in progress like me :D). But I’ve been unlucky so far since they’re pretty busy, it’s demo day-time for those applying to ycombinator there.

Anyway I still have 4 months of holidays this summer and I’m wondering what I’ll do if I can’t find anything in Mountain View (n_n I really want to go there).

If you know someone, or are interested in a passionate coder and eager learner, you can take a look at my resume here and rush to contact me before someone else does :)

Otherwise I’ll spend more time coding personal projects and writing this summer (by the way, Korben, a famous influential blogger in France has written about me and my application 3pages.fr in a blog post. Huge amount of traffic in a few hours, 600 people signing up in a day. I envy his traffic.)
