LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) — Christopher Boyd, a homeless Los Angeles man who handed out his resume alongside LA freeways, has been hired.

The 44-year-old is working for Jack The Roofer in Simi Valley for a week and then will work full time for JB Wholesale, a Los Angeles roofing and building supply company who works with Jack The Roofer.

Boyd was spotted along the freeways handing out flyers listing his skills ranging from marketing, property management, construction to professional driving.

“I’ve been all over LA,” Boyd said last month. “I got tired of going to interviews, going places and not getting hired.”

Boyd’s story went viral after a picture of his flyer was posted on Reddit.

At one state gov co agency, the catbert there was usually hung over a lot of mornings. At least once she came to work in a long coat and changed clothes in her office. I think she is still there. I left a while back.
