The thing I would find hard is finding 2.5k job listings that I thought were compelling and would interest me, maybe I'm just picky?

  Being pickier might actually help you here. To apply for as many positions as the article claims means that you are basically shotgunning applications. There's going to be a large amount of wasted effort doing that as opposed to being "pickier" and applying for positions that actually look like a good fit for you. I think it's counterproductive, personally. When I've been involved with hiring decisions, it was pretty easy to tell which applicants were actually applying for the specific position and which were basically mass-applying for every position they could find. The ones mass-applying would be among the first to be weeded out and much less likely to be called in for an interview.
