The last time I applied for a job, I applied to about 10 different companies over a period of a couple of months. I went to interview with three of them. One made me an offer, which I rejected. The second turned me down (Unfortunately, as I liked the place). The third didn't want to hire me into the exact position I applied for, but offered me a different position. At first I rejected, but I called them back 6 months later and took it. This was back in 2008. I'm not sure if you can use that measure for anything. Your skill set, the job marked in general and your geography are huge factors.
