If you’re getting instant rejections, it might be the screening questions. I’d double-check how you’re answering those because even one mismatch can trigger an auto “no.”
I've seen people talk about how some days are better than others to apply for jobs, but I can't imagine that makes much difference. As for software sending auto-rejections, that's always puzzling. I don't believe there are any magic keywords that will get you past the robotic gatekeepers, but it's hard to know what the automated scanners are looking for. I'd love to read an interview with someone who works on job application software and get an informed opinion about what's going on with those systems.
