Why are there so many job postings that I have applied for but nothing happening? Are the jobs that are posted truly open? I know we are in 4th quarter and wasn’t sure if corporation’s like to hire then?

I know that some companies do slow hiring during the fourth quarter. With inflation, the dow, and impending recession/current recession where it is, I wouldn't be surprised if hiring is just slowing in general. I wouldn't give up though, every company won't stop hiring, and there are definitely still jobs out there.

Could be lots of reasons. I'd probably start by making sure your resume is up to par. You can either share it here for feedback, or you can hire an expert (check Fiverr or upwork) to optimize it for you. If you're sending out lots of applications but not getting any call backs, chances are it's a problem with your resume that can be fixed. Good luck!

Yes, totally agree with R2. You should make your own resume. Recruiters can easily tell if it is written by a resume writer.

Have you tried checking your resume? You need to make sure that the qualifications you possess fits the position that you applied for.

Of course

One of the reasons is that the competition is really really tough. A lot of appicants are lining for a single role.
