Accept offer A. Receive offer B. If offer B > offer A, let company A know something has come up and you cannot continue employment. Accept offer B.

Lather, rinse, repeat for each offer. The better offer may be salary, perks, or just better work conditions. I once left a company after working there for 9 days because I got an offer working with my friend. I didn't even get a better salary and my friend ended up leaving after 3 months..

That’s not how to do it. You get offer A and B then push them to bid on you. Having competing offers gives you leverage, use that to get the best employment terms.

I think that's a recipe for becoming unemployable.

You obviously stop at some point, a 6 month gap on your resume is not a good look.
