But more importantly, you'll have the chance to learn more about what (and who) they're looking for. If you realize you're lacking experience, then you can quit wasting your time there. If you're lacking a skill (or just don't have it on your resume), you can easily fix that

Your resume is probably being overlooked. Try using a resume scanner to give your resume the best chance of making it through an ATS check. Also you must update your resume for EVERY opportunity you apply for. Play up your experiences to match the job description and use key words/phrases from the job description.
