La Nación – He used to sleep on the street and was afraid of job interviews, but someone trained him and gave him a fresh start.
David is 47 years old and got a job two months ago. Other 32 people who used to live on the streets, sidewalks and shelters, like him, were able to overcome that situation and catch up on their own thanks to a program which gets them ready for job searching.. “I’ve taken many odd jobs, but how am I supposed to express that in my resumé?.” “If I’m asked for my address, what should I say?.” “I don’t know what I’m qualified for.” These are some of the challenges David Marín –47 years old– faced when found himself writing his first resumé. He was helped by Multipolar Foundation, an organisation which helps homeless people find a pathway to employment and stability..
