I decide when we’re done, motherfucker. Fuck the current job market.
The strange thing is, you may be hired the second time. Some employers like employees who show tenacity. Plus they obviously didn’t get what they wanted.
So take the chip of your shoulder and go at it like a new interview.
Don’t give up anyway.
I’ve been unemployed for a year (best holidays ever :-| ) and I’ve seen job offers posted again and again, even on Sundays which shows they all use AI and ATS to post job offers and reject people.
The job market is very bad right now, and even when you have found something interesting, you can be rejected for small details like “You said you worked on this Windows thing but we require experience with Windows version 11.4.32.12 and I don’t see it in your resume.”
Apply with the exact same application but use your middle name and last name and a different email address see if they treat it any different. If they can have multiple posting a for the same job why can’t you apply multiple times for the same posting.
Or, of course, they may just be harvesting resumes, and identifying unemployed people interested in that sort of work. Bold assumption that all job ads are genuine.

Oh, piss off, dude. I’m about to be losing my contractor job and am doing the best I can now. I went into this place and was told by an employee they need an IT guy. I’m not doing this blind.
Fair enough, boots on ground works. Doesn’t change the fact that’s a common practice, which sucks. Didn’t mean it as a personal attack. Best of luck.
