He has been featured on national news programs and has had many offers and a book in the making. If HR judged him with their traditional yardstick, his resume would;ve died in the land of the inactive file. He has shown perserverance, great research skills, self reliance and creativity. He has charted his own course successfully outside of normal parameters and contrainsts. Daniel was brillant in his idea.

I can imagine hiring someone for a temporary job like this given these circumstances. He was honest up front about the length he planned to be there and did seem to put sweat equity into the jobs he took on and that is what is important.

Daniel is probably single, with no children or other responsibilities besides himself so it's easy for him to move from State to State for his purposes. In real life, when I see a resume crammed with jobs, that is most definitely a "Caution Flag" but not necessarily bad if you do see some stable employment. If you don't see any stable employment for at least 2 years, then you have a potential hire that will probably leave your company too. If they have a skill set you are looking for, it's worth interviewing them to see if you can pull the reason why they move around so much out of them.
