DiGianfilippo said she took a resume and snapped a photo of Hoagland. She was hoping to offer him a job at her company, but after reading Hoagland's resume, she learned he had no experience in public relations.

\"I figured, 'I have a pretty wide network. I'll share on social media,'\" DiGianfilippo said.

DiGianfilippo shared a photo of Hoagland's resume on Facebook and Twitter. But it was on LinkedIn where the CV received the most attention, she said.

\"I think people were impressed with this willingness and dedication to stand in 100-degree heat,\" DiGianfilippo said.

Hoagland said job offers poured in by the hundreds. He eventually landed a job at a company called Flatline Concrete as a concrete grinder.

\"They reached out to me over email phone, and I am glad that they did,\" he said. \"It's my dream job scenario.\"

\"I can't say thank you enough to everybody,\" Hoagland said. \"I had a lot of people who sent messages that weren't necessarily job offers but were well-wishes [saying], 'Good luck in your search.' It was nice to see that.'\"
