The most effective route to get a job (sending the right application to the right position with a good cover letter) works better for both desperate and comfortable people.

Many smart people choose the right path even when they are broke and hopeless, it makes no sense to shift responsibility and call it privilege.

The post I was responding to mentioned sending out LESS resumes. That's not the most effective route.

Sending less resumes to jobs that fits better the applicant CV with a tailored cover letter is the most effective route for both the applicants and the companies offering the jobs - but before all, the company also needs to put some effort creating a good job post.
