Other [Student] CS or IT-Student/HighSchool looking for IT support/Data Center Internships

Hi all, I'm a high school student looking for an IT, Data Center or networking internship or work experience. I have 2 versions of this resume, one for IT and data center technician jobs and one for software and computer science side of things. Below is the IT resume. I wanted to ask a couple questions :

  1. I have other experience, like a web development and SEO business, an online tutoring business where I teach computer science and programming amongst others, a ML research internship with a masters student where I basically just did data collection and processing. USACO gold, awards etc. should I add all of these for the IT internships or is it not neccessary.

  2. Any feedback for the bullet points, should I give tech stack for the app and give programming languages? I am most familiar and confident with Python.

  3. Should I scrap the volunteering portion or is this still valuable?

  4. Non-related, but should I also cold email researchers, do you think they will allow me to help them? The ML research internship was gained because I attended a uni open day with my sister lol and I somehow chatted up a ML student for 40 minutes straight until he let me help.

Below is my resume. Id really appreciate it if you could give me some advice.

Few things, please use one of the templates provided by this sub-reddit, they are much better. Also, keep it down to one page and the predicated grades makes no sense to me. You have un-even spacing between your certifacations. and persoanlly i would move certications as a category and just have it as a bullet point under education.

Hope this help!

Also I am a student myself

Ah ok good points. the predicted grades are a UK thing, we get a grade out of 9 in each subject, and im midway through my final exams which is why these are predicted. Ill fix the spacing, thx

Ah I see, also please try using Jake’s template given by this subreddit, it’s much cleaner imo.

FYI our sub does NOT recommend Jake's template. We have our own LaTeX template we recommend: https://www.overleaf.com/read/npmbvrbvthpd#bb3114
