Every so often I find my self filling out one for a local walmart the managers I normally talk with ensure me that having past experience with the company is a plus as well as customer service experience is also a BIG plus which should put me head and shoulders above the rest however when I complete the online app I call the store within a week to find out that according to their system I'm not a match I understand their need to streamline things by using such a program I have had NO luck getting to the next step and it's not like I'm putting down I have Autism or I'm Autistic but high functioning where that would cast some doubt in a persons mind I just fill it out the best I can and I get shot down kinda discouraging same goes for Best Buy I know about Televisions in and out I know what's on the forefront and I know how to make the pitches but again their system kicks me out I'm beginning to thing that there's no hope for me finding a stable job that pays and offers some type of benefits 
Yeah it's frustrating when your qualified for a job but you can get an interview because of the keywords you choosed. I've learned a tip though, I heard if you include some of the words that the job description has, you'll have a better chance of getting an interview.

Yeah I have to say it is somewhat of an advantage when it's a company with several jobs, that you can quickly re-apply. However there's the possibility that the company may not consider you as a candidate for other positions if you they didn't consider you for one.
You have a point when it comes to companies that have several applicants a day. It would be hard having 100s of day, it would take a lot of work, time, and money.

Ah, the same company but different departments...
Say, the Planning department of a company has three openings... I would apply to one of them, because, as you say, either they'll want me or they won't.
BUT, then I would also apply for an opening in Facilities, an opening in IT, an opening in Telecom and possibly one in a data governance type department. So, as long as I get past the HR checkboxes for requirements, then the filters are different based upon the hiring manager for the respective departments.
I couldn't get in with IT or data governance in my current job, but, I had the qualities the VP over Facilities was looking for.
~nodding~ HR is one of those overhead departments that don't earn money for a company and cannot ramp up staffing for themselves the same way a revenue generating department can, in most cases.
