How do individuals obtain employment at Costco? Despite applying multiple times and possessing more work experience than most, I observe that many people I see on LinkedIn have little to no experience.

I find many places are this way, I have applied for many jobs that are available through several businesses and I very seldom get any responses but the jobs are still posted or taken down and reposted a few days later. I reapply each time for the same jobs with the same companies but still get no response but the ads for employees are still there. Most fast food places are like this as well as Walmart and dollar tree and dollarama and giant tiger and many retail and warehouse jobs as well. Doesnt make sense to me why they keep reposting the same jobs all the time but dont contact people who are qualified for the jobs and people who want to work.

Certain companies hire only from within; and even if/when they post publicly, they still have to interview the internal applicants first. Internal employees are given priority for the position even if they aren't as qualified as someone who isn't already employed with the company. Also, there's literally a ton of fake openings; maybe the online descriptions aren't intended to be posted as a fake, but expect that a company will have multiple profiles with job boards for posting openings, then there are probably multiple managers monitoring applications for the same position across multiple/different locations... This is what creates a situation where it's nearly impossible to maintain accurate tracking of live job postings and simultaneously disastrous for keeping track of candidates.
