If jobs are so readily available, why is it so hard to even get an interview?

For context, I’m am looking into switching jobs. I am applying at jobs that claim to be “entry level”. Things like customer service and office admin etc. I have 7 years of experience with Microsoft applications and especially excel. However I only have 2 years of experience in a traditional office setting. Most of my older experience was in a lab setting in a factory but my job was still heavily (90%) on a computer. I keep getting denied for interviews saying I’m not qualified, yet I meet the qualifications listed on the job posting. I’m so frustrated. I even had help revamping my resume. All these companies claim they are in need of workers now but I’m not considered.
