>> ARON: BIG NEWS, EVERYONE!

I'M HAPPY TO SAY THAT AFTER SEVERAL MONTHS OF LOOKING, I HAVE FINALLY FOUND A NEW JOB!

HOW DID I DO IT?

MAYBE IT'S MY PANACHE, MY YEARS OF EXPERIENCE, OR MY '90S-INSPIRED HAIRCUT.

WHO'S TO SAY?

WHAT I CAN SAY, THOUGH, IS THAT IT IS ROUGH OUT THERE.

YOU OR SOMEONE YOU KNOW IS PROBABLY LOOKING FOR A NEW JOB.

MANY SMALLER COMPANIES LIKE TARGET, AMAZON, OR THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HAVE STARTED LETTING PEOPLE GO, AND THAT MEANS LOTS OF PEOPLE LOOKING FOR NEW GIGS.

AND THE QUESTION IS, HOW DO YOU STAND OUT AMONGST THE CROWD?

MY ANSWER?

I DON'T KNOW.

I DO NOT KNOW.

FOR MONTHS, I APPLIED TO HUNDREDS OF JOBS.

I USED LINKEDIN, LINKEDIN PREMIUM, INDEED, GLASSDOOR, HECK, EVEN A VOODOO DOLL.

NONE OF IT WORKED.

IF YOU HAVEN'T LOOKED FOR A JOB IN A WHILE, YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW ABOUT SOME OF THE STRANGE FOIBLES OF LOOKING FOR A NEW GIG.

FOR STARTERS, COMPANIES DON'T REALLY TELL YOU WHEN THEY'VE DECIDED NOT TO HIRE YOU.

INSTEAD, YOU JUST HEAR NOTHING BACK.

OR SOMETIMES YOU GET A RESPONSE SO MANY MONTHS LATER THAT YOU'VE ALREADY FORGOTTEN ABOUT THE JOB.

BUT IT IS A NICE LITTLE REMINDER THAT YOU'RE STILL UNEMPLOYED.

AND SOME JOBS ARE JUST SCAMS.

IT'S NOT UNCOMMON FOR A NIGERIAN PRINCE TO TEXT YOU SAYING HE HAS A FULL-TIME JOB WITH BENEFITS WAITING FOR YOU.

AND THE ONLY THING HE NEEDS IS YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER TO GET STARTED.

AND JUST KNOW, WHILE THAT SEEMS SILLY AFTER FOUR MONTHS OF JOB HUNTING, IT WILL LOOK LIKE A GREAT OFFER.

I'M NOT TELLING YOU THIS TO DISCOURAGE OR DEPRESS YOU.

I'M TELLING YOU THIS TO REMIND YOU TO KEEP GOING.

EVERY MOMENT ADDS UP.

IF YOU KEEP PUSHING, YOU WILL EVENTUALLY FIND SOMETHING NEW.

IT'S JUST A MATTER OF TIME, DETERMINATION, AND '90S STYLE HAIRCUTS.

SO PLEASE KEEP TRYING.

BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW.

SOMETHING NEW MIGHT BE RIGHT
