Applied for customer service and sales jobs at Walmart and grocery stores

I've been feeling really lost in my job search lately. I'm a 25-year-old with five years of restaurant management experience, two years in sales, and an industrial certification, but I don't have a college degree. I've been applying for customer service and sales jobs in my area, including positions at Walmart and other grocery stores. It feels like I'm just throwing applications into a black hole and hoping for a response. I've been told that it's a numbers game, and that I should be applying to at least 10 jobs a day, but honestly, I feel like I need to apply to more than that to even get noticed. I've been using three different template resumes that I created with the help of AI tools like ChatGPT and Claude, tailoring them to each job description to try to bypass ATS filters. Despite my efforts, I've been unemployed for almost six months now, and my savings have run out. I've faced multiple rejections, even from positions that required less experience than I have. It's frustrating and confusing trying to navigate this job market. I just want to know if I'm doing something wrong or if there's a better way to approach my applications. I really hope to turn this around soon.
