2. Photo of Homeless Man Handing Out Resumes Goes Viral
A single post by a good Samaritan on Twitter has given a homeless unemployed worker new hope.
David Casarez stood in an intersection in California holding a sign that read "Homeless, hungry 4 success, take a resume."
The 26-year-old went to the Bay Area last September, armed with a college degree, three years of experience as a software developer, a few months’ salary and a dream of launching a start up.
