Standing up for a job plaque, the homeless guy received an invitation from Google and hundreds of other companies
Looking for a job, it sounds funny, but it turned out to be the unimaginably successful job strategy of the guy David Casarez coder.
David Casarez grew up in a border town near Laredo, Texas, and graduated from the Texas A & M University's School of Information Management. He later became a web developer at General Motors in Austin.
With a dream of starting a business, David withdrew 401-K benefits to Silicon Valley. But in June, David ran out of money, almost no money and had to live in his 2015 Ford Transit van for over a year now.
David said he was unemployed and had an interview with Apple last December but failed.
David does some freelance work like web design, logo to make a living. But since David's car and accommodation were confiscated more than a month ago, he had to sleep in a park in Mountain View, California.
On Friday, David Casarez woke up in a bench outside the park and decided to dress neatly with a shirt, tie, hugged a handwritten sign and a stack of FedEx envelopes to the nearby highway. .
Reading here may mean that this guy decided to go begging literally. But no, in the sign David wrote:
"HOMELESS
GETTING TO BE SUCCESS
GET A APPLICATION SHEET ".
Just simple as that. David said he had to do something to change his current life and look for his opportunities but still have to keep himself. And this action was David's last attempt, if he didn't succeed, he would go home and give up his dream.
David held that sign standing on the street of El Camino and San Antonio for a few hours. David's actions attracted the attention of the driver Jasmine Scofield when he happened to pass by. She stopped and asked if she could take pictures and post them online. David agreed.
Around 5 pm on Friday, Jasmine tweeted: "Today, I saw this young homeless person not asking for money but asking people to take his job application. Everyone please re-tweet to help. David! ". David Casarez picture holds the sea quickly spread on Reddit, Twitter, Facebook .
By the afternoon of the following day, David had received more than 200 job offers from many employers, including Google.
David shared with the New York Post in amazement: 'Google contacted me, there are many other companies in the same series of startups .' . When watching the job offers on the mail, David was still shocked because everything happened so fast.
