Not the user you directed your question to, but it depends on the outcome you want. I know people who only interview at one or two places between jobs because they're so particular about what they want. I also know people who are over-employed. Juggling multiple interviews at once should come easily to these people. Theoretically, I could see someone juggling 15-20 sets of interviews at one time. So pick your poison.

I just apply to every job I find interesting. Of the 7 job agency locations I've been through, zero have found me any work, they've been nothing but a useless waste of time. I have a 16 page master resume I tailor back down to 2-3 pages for every single company/position I apply for. I have a wide field of experience, so it's handy to be able to match my resume to the exact job. I write in CV format, not resume, so the first page is just the education, previous jobs, hobbies, and general junk that's of least concern while the second to third pages actually list off my experience, projects, and relevant things. I have more trouble with getting a job past the interview than actually getting interviews. I get interviewed by probably 60-75% of the jobs I apply for, and then an offer from maybe a tenth of that, but it's been six years since I've last applied. So typically I am juggling several interviews a week, ideally as many as I can get. If I get lucky and have multiple offers, it lets me decide which job/company seems like the best fit for me. I am moving on from my current job early next year, so that's exactly what I will be doing. Just browsing every online resource (linked in, indeed, usajobs, etc) as well as looking around at what small/medium sized businesses exist locally to apply to, even if they don't have an opening listed.
