Aaron O'Dwyer went to give a homeless man a few bucks in Liverpool.
Then, the homeless man, named Jordan Lockett, handed him a handwritten note. It was his résumé.
“I had an interview for Apple at the Hilton and I saw him as I was walking towards Bold Street to get something to eat. I saw he was of a similar age to myself. I had £4 in coins so I said ‘Alright mate, do you want some change?’" 18-year-old Aaron told Mirror.
What Aaron didn't expect was that Jordan was desperate to work.
“He said thanks and I saw he had his CVs. He had about 15–20 of them. They were handwritten which is proper dedication, to sit there and write them all out," he said.
Just recently a cop dressed up as a homeless man believing he would be mistreated or exploited; instead he was only offered compassion.
Aaron posted the résumé on Twitter asking anyone if they could help. Within 48 hours, Jordan had plenty of job offers.
“I didn’t expect anything – I’m still getting notifications popping up on my phone," Aaron said. “I hope he realizes that there are people out there that do care about him.”

When Aaron O'Dwyer went to give a 23-year-old homeless man a few bucks, he was given a note instead.
Aaron promised the man, Jordan Lockett, that he would share the note, which turned out to be a handwritten résumé, with the world.
“CV
Jordan Lockett Need work
20.08.94 Need help
N.F.A Seriously lost
I’m sick of wasting away now,
I’m always being told to go to homeless centers but [they're] not helping. I think it’s because they need a job for one and because I’m young and fit and no dependencies I’m on the bottom of the priority list but it’s killing my mental health.
I write my CV like this because I don’t have anything to put on it, I worked as a motorbike mechanic for 2 years but that was from the start of year 9 to the end of high school on a course and my boss stopped picking me up 2ish weeks before I was supposed to finish and left me with no grades or experience proof.
Very fast learner and hard worker.
Can I afford not to be?
Any chances?"
Aaron made good with the promise. He posted it on twitter and within 48 hours it was shared over 3,000 times.
And within those 48 hours, Jordan Lockett's sister reconnected with him, he is now off the streets and has received numerous job offers.
This is what happens when one small act of kindness snowballs into a thousand!
SHARE if you're glad Aaron was able to help Jordan!
