How many cover letters/resumes will I need to send out in order to get a minimum wage type job in the GTA in Canada? (lemmy.ml)

Right now, I am currently in the process of hunting for jobs (mostly minimum wage though). I am currently trying to write as many cover letters and resumes as I can, and I'm planning to go out on January 2nd to apply to as many positions as I can both in-person and online (if that's allowed).

How many resumes/cover letters do you think I'll need in order to actually get an interview and a job?

So far, I only have around 15 resumes/cover letters, but I try to tailor them.

Am I also legally allowed to apply both online and in-person to the same job position at about the same time in Ontario, Canada?

The law doesn't care if you double apply, but their HR department will wonder wtf you're doing.
