A homeless web developer named David Casarez has landed multiple job offers after advertising his resume on a highway median.
According to the New York Post, Casarez dressed up in a shirt and tie and carried a hand-written cardboard sign saying:
“HOMELESS…….“HUNGRY 4 SUCCESS. TAKE A RESUME.”
Casarez told The Post:
“I’d been living in my car for more than a year. No one was hiring. I had an interview with Apple in January, but the job was filled internally.”
Speaking on his decision to carry a cardboard and hand out a stack of his resume, he said:
“It was basically a make-or-break moment. I wanted to keep my head up high, keep looking forward and see what opportunity would come next.
“I was thinking you know, like this was like my last stop. If this didn’t work, I’d go back home and give up on my dream.”
After he had been standing on the high way median for a some hours, a driver stopped and asked if she could take his picture and post it online and Casarez agreed.
She shared the image via Twitter saying:
“Today I saw this young homeless man asking for people to take a resume rather than asking for money. If anyone in Silicon Valley could help him out, that would be amazing. Please RT so we can help David out!”
By Saturday afternoon he’d been offered more than 200 jobs.
Casarez holds a bachelors in management information systems and had moved to Silicon Valley to start his own tech company after working at General Motorsfor a while.
He ran out of cash and decided to take an extraordinary route in search of a job.
“It’s been happening very quickly, and I’m in shock,” he said. “I wasn’t expecting that kind of response,” he said. “It kinda blew up.”
“Google reached out to me…. So many other companies. Pandora. A bunch of startups,” he said.
“A product manager from Bitcoin.com was wondering if I could work remotely of if I want to relocate to Tokyo”.

  The Synagogue Church of all Nations (SCOAN) has countered the BBC documentary on the late Temitope Babatunde Joshua, known as TB Joshua, founder of SCOAN. SCOAN described the documentary against TB Joshua as unfounded, and that the characters interviewed in the report were unknown to the church. The church, in a statement signed by its Public Affairs Director, Mr Dare Adejumo, said the statement was aimed at disabusing public minds from the report. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that the BBC released a highly controversial and damning documentary on the late TB Joshua on Monday, accusing him of various crimes, including rape, against some members. SCOAN said, “BBC World Services investigative unit, code-named Africa Eye, came out this week with weird and strange episodes of atrocities against the late founder of SCOAN.” It said that to investigate and publish or broadcast reports was a central kernel of journalism, but to do so outside the ethics and fundamental principles

  The NBA has suspended former San Antonio Spurs guard  Joshua Primo   for four games   ... after it says it found he exposed his private parts to multiple women. The league announced the ban on Friday morning ... saying an investigation into the free agent revealed he had "engaged in inappropriate and offensive behavior." NBA officials called his actions "conduct detrimental to the league." They did, however, note that they "did not find evidence that he engaged in any sexual or other misconduct apart from these brief exposures." "Primo maintains that his conduct was not intentional," the league said. Dr. Hillary Cauthen , Primo's former therapist, was the first to  bring the allegations  against Primo to light after she claimed last fall that he exposed himself to her on nine separate occasions. Dr. Cauthen's attorney,  Tony Buzbee , alleged the Spurs were aware of Primo's actions, but didn't take action. Cauthen went on to file

The pair were both the scoresheet as the Blues thrashed Middlesbrough 6-1 at Stamford Bridge in the second leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final to boo their place at Wembley.

Madueke is four years younger than his Chelsea teammate, plays in a different role and is English, while Disasi is French.
