When A Homeless Man's CV Went Viral, Now A Lot Of People Want To Employ Him

If you are homeless, I know what you may be thinking. But when one homeless young man from Liverpool threw shame away, you will be amazed to see what happened next.

The CV on the right was shared on Twitter by a concerned citizen on behalf of another, and it went viral, and offers followed.

Aaron O'DWyer tweeted "Some homeless lad in town give me his CV an I promised I would share it on here, hes only 23 do with it what you like".

It has been re-tweeted 1,225 times while 542 Favourited it.  But it does not end there.  The offers that are pouring in are good and some already want to interview him.

Some of the responses include this one by Stuart Fitzgerald ‏" where did u meet this lad? Any contact details or clues at all? I know ppl who could help him!"


And the reply was Aaron O'Dwyer "I'm still on bold street now, I'll see if he's still in the same place and get some info la"

There is also a response by Laura Neve Tacey who wrote said "we can help at the ECHO - published a story from your tweet - if Jordan would like to do an interview, get in touch"

There is another by Everton Canada "I have a friend that runs a rendering company in Liverpool. I'll see if I can even get him a day a week."

But tracking the young man who has no phone number has proved as frustrating and Adam Rowe ‏couldn't hold back."f**ing pointless without a phone number or email init."


We asked Aaron O'Dwyer what has become of the tweets and he says he has not seen the young man again although he has been in touch with his relatives.

We asked him "Aaron mate..were you able to trace the young man who needed help yesterday? The homeless man?"

And he replied: "not yet but through the tweet I've gotten in contact with his brother and they're having a look for him in town! Hopefully he's found soon."
