HUNGRY 4 SUCCESS. TAKE A RESUME.\u201d   \u00a0\u201cThis is my make it or break it moment,\u201d Casarez told KNTV of what inspired his bold move. \u201cI have to do something crazy.\u201d   \u00a0Casarez graduated with a degree in management information systems from Texas A&#038;M University and worked as a General Motors web developer in Austin, Texas, the New York Post reports. But when he moved to California in hopes of creating a startup,\u00a0he lost all of his money and the vehicle that he had been living in. He has been sleeping in a park ever since, he told the outlet.  \u00a0His luck changed on Friday when a driver Jasmine Scofield passed by and asked if she could put his picture online.   \u00a0\u201cToday I saw this young homeless man asking for people to take a resume rather than asking for money,\u201d Scofield wrote on Twitter. \u201cIf anyone in the Silicon Valley could help him out, that would be amazing. Please RT so we can help David out!\u201d  \u00a0The tweet has more than 118,000 retweets and 186,000 likes. Casarez has received about 200 job offers, including from Google, Neflix and LinkedIn, according to a tweet by Scofield.  \u00a0\u201cI knew it would be posted on social media, I didn\u2019t know it would blow up like this,\u201d he told KNTV. \u201cI\u2019m trying not to take any money. I really do just want a job opportunity \u2014 that\u2019s all I\u2019m asking.\u201d   \u00a0The timing could not have been more fortuitous for Casarez. \u201cI wanted to keep my head up high, keep looking forward and see what opportunity would come next,\u201d he told the Post. \u201cI was thinking, you know, like this was like my last stop. If this didn\u2019t work, I\u2019d go back home and give up on my dream.\u201d  \u00a0Scofield praised the man\u2019s efforts even more on Twitter, writing, \u201cHe came to the Silicon Valley with a dream to be successful in tech and has a lot to offer the community.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>More info on Homeless Man, 26, Gets Hundreds of Job Offers After Passing Out His Resume on Highway Median &#8211; Break<\/h3>\n<div class=\"ss-local-rss\"><div class=\"rss_header\"><h2><a href=\"https:\/\/cn.bing.com\/news\/search\/?q=Homeless+Man%2C+26%2C+Gets+Hundreds+of+Job+Offers+After+Passing+Out+His+Resume+on+Highway+Median+-+Break&amp;qft=sortbydate%3D%221%22&amp;format=rss\" rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"rss_title\">Homeless Man, 26, Gets Hundreds of Job Offers After Passing Out His Resume on Highway Median - Break - BingNews<\/a><br \/><span class=\"rss_description\"> Search results<\/span><\/h2><\/div><ul>\n            <li>\t\t\t\t<span class=\"title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"http:\/\/www.bing.com\/news\/apiclick.aspx?ref=FexRss&amp;aid=&amp;tid=6638ad04cdd84394abb02d6eaeafb89f&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.adelaidenow.com.au%2Ftruecrimeaustralia%2Fpolice-courts-sa%2Fdaniel-gordon-bremner-jailed-for-26-years-for-the-brutal-murder-of-a-frail-man-found-at-the-wingfield-dump%2Fnews-story%2Fcb7cfce1cc259bea294e6c7e34ddec5c&amp;c=14612809255150058730&amp;mkt=en-us\" rel=\"nofollow\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tDaniel Gordon Bremner jailed for 26 years for the brutal murder of a frail man, found at the Wingfield dump\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>Don't miss out on the headlines from Police &amp; Courts ...
