Homeless Texas A&M graduate gets more than 200 job offers after handing out resumes on the street in San Jose
SAN JOSE, Calif. -- A homeless web designer from Texas is closer to finding a job, thanks to social media and his determination despite his current situation.
A woman snapped a photo of David Casarez on a street corner in San Jose holding a sign that reads, "Homeless. Hungry for success. Take a resume."
The Laredo native, who is a Texas A&M graduate, moved to the Silicon Valley to launch his own tech startup. But he ran out of money and has been sleeping in his car since June.
