Searching for a job is one of the worst things ever; the struggle, the rejection, the entire process is so nerve-wracking. But, it's way more stressful when you're trying to start working so that you can support yourself and get off the streets.

Instead of asking for money, a homeless guy had a brilliant idea. David Casarez, a web developer from Texas was little down on his luck, to say the least. After earning his bachelor's in management information systems from Texas A&M University, he managed to land a good web developer job at General Motors in Austin. But, he wanted to try out his luck so he cashed out his 401-K and drove to Silicon Valley to pursue the dream of his own tech start-up, but things didn't go exactly as he planned.

After running out of cash, he ended up living in his car. In fact, he lived in his car for more than a year. He said, “No one was hiring. I had an interview with Apple in January, but the job was filled internally.”

But after his van was repossessed, he ended up sleeping on a park bench. Then, one day he woke up in the park, put on a nice shirt and tie, and carried his hand-written cardboard sign to a nearby highway median.

The sign read: “Homeless. Hungry 4 success. Take a resume.”

And, I don't think even he knew the impact of his one sign at that moment. A passer-by clicked his picture and then shared it on Twitter. Soon, he went viral and received more than 200 job offers.

He said, “Google reached out to me. So many other companies. Pandora. A bunch of startups. A product manager from Bitcoin.com was wondering if I could work remotely or if I want to relocate to Tokyo. But tonight, I'll be back on my bench in Rengstorff Park.”

Today I saw this young homeless man asking for people to take a resume rather than asking for money. If anyone in the Silicon Valley could help him out, that would be amazing. Please RT so we can help David out! pic.twitter.com/ewoE3PKFx7

Talking about the fateful day that changed his life, he said, “To be presentable to my future employers. 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.”
