Its the same rule as cold calling in sales.
If you send out 10 resumes you'll get one response
You need to responses to get one good match for an interview
You almost need to interviews to find a really good fit which results in an offer.
Usually that ratio drops as you gain experience.
When I left my last job recently I send out 20 resumes, got 15 responses picked 5 positions to interview for and got 3 offeres to choose from.
But I have 20 + years in my field.
