The way I approach the postings is I look for companies and positions I would be really interested in. Even if I don't meet the requirements, e.g. they want a senior engineer (I'll be a new grad), I'll apply anyways. The worst that could happen is I don't get a reply or a no, but sometimes they do reach back. Recently this led to some great conversations with senior engineers (good career advice and insights into the company) and them referring me internally to HR for when the company starts looking for new grads. There were a lot of no's and that can be attributed to me not being qualified for their positions due to lack of experience in certain fields/tech. For the ones I did get interviews with recently, I generally met about 80% of their requirements and maybe one or two of their reach requirements.
