This is what happened to Angel Medina, a 44-year-old man from the city of Hermosillo, Mexico, who in his desperation to find a job, hand-wrote his CV on sheets of paper that he taped to lamp posts around the city.
On those sheets, the man wrote his name, his contact information, and the things he knew how to do, such as handling cattle, milking, making cheese, taming colts and raising animals. According to Angel’s documents, he was looking for work on a ranch. In addition, the man explained that the sheets were handwritten because he didn’t have the money to print many documents.
