After being laid off, Patrick Hoagland took an unusual approach to finding a new job.

A laid-off Arizona worker found an unusual way to get the attention of prospective employers — by taking it to the streets.

Fox 10 Phoenix reported Patrick Hoagland hit the streets of Arizona's capital city with a sign saying he was "laid-off" and "looking for a job." The sign also implored any passers-by looking for help to "please take a resume."

The station reported on Hoagland's unusual job search Wednesday, saying that some passing motorists honked at the man while others stopped.

Hoagland told the station that after their initial report aired, "my phone just started going crazy [with] offers from multiple different people to come in and talk to them to come in and work."
