ORLANDO, Fla. -- A single father of three who has been out of work for a year and a half is taking a unique approach to his job hunt.

Gary Curry wrote to Lauren Rowe to explain his predicament.

"I'm a 41-year-old single father who has been unemployed for 18 months. I'm taking a stand for every person on unemployment who wants a job and is having a hard time getting one. I'm taking my three-year-old son Gary Jr. with me on John Young and Colonial Dr. and holding up our signs and handing out resumes to every car that stops. Is this what it has come down to for those who want to work? I'm trying to show the government that their plan to try to rebuild the job market is not working," Curry wrote in his e-mail.

Curry hit the streets Thursday morning with Gary Jr. and a stack of resumes.

"We're here for daddy to get a job," Gary Jr. said.

Gary Jr. wore a sandwich board made of posters with one side reading, "My dad needs a job so that I can have a future," and the other said, "White House, where is my future?"

"We have to be able to show our kids the important things in life and that is to stand on your own two feet. Take care of yourself and make something of yourself," Curry said.

Curry handed out his resume to all the stopped cars at the intersection and hopes his approach will help him land a job.

"It has been very rough. I exhausted all my benefits that are left, so I have to do what I have to do," Curry said.
