Should you keep applying at a place that's rejected you before?

I'm trying to get a job at a big retail company. I've applied once over a year ago (for a position I was definitely unqualified for) and was rejected. A couple weeks ago a job popped up for a store associate, so I applied. I was turned down again, I assume because I have only worked as a fast food cashier and as a construction worker, so no retail experience.

Yesterday, an opening for an asset protection associate popped up. The only qualification is that you have a high school diploma.

I'm wondering if I apply, will they just turn me down instantly again because they have me blacklisted or something?

I've been trying to find a job for weeks now. I just wanted something decent till I can save up money to go back to school. Trying to get something other than fast food.

I've don't have a criminal history, and I was a student, but I'm not going back next semester so my schedule is totally flexible.

    Keep applying. Odds are they haven't blacklisted you - it's just that you weren't a good fit for the job at the time, or there were better options available. There's far more paths to no than yes in this.

    If you were rejected for associate, you definitely aren't getting a loss prevention job.

    What is wrong with fast food for a student??
