[quote=Anonymous]Having a business like that needs to highlight more than the fact he is a good app developer. Did he have to market himself or his business? Did he pay his own taxes? (Filing your own taxes on self earned income as a 16 yo is impressive. That's huge executive function.) Did he have to present to clients? Deal with difficult clients or difficult feedback? Value his work to decide what to charge? Negotiate a contract? Manage deadlines? Balance work with school? Did he build a professional network? I wouldn't use the job to highlight that he's good technically--that's not extraordinary. Highlight that he's an entrepreneur and has the skills and fire in his belly to take over the world. He's a go getter with the skills to make it happen. Sell him as the total package with the executive function, communication and social skills to round out his technical strengths.[/quote]
