How many resumes should I have to send out before I hear back about an interview?

Now that it's abnormal to walk into a business and ask if they are hiring, I'm sending out resumes all the time and I have no idea if they are even being reviewed. I heard a stat once that you should get one interview for every 100 resumes you send out. Is this true? It's so time consuming to write all those intro emails and everything! #resume #careerbuilding #interviews I am curious because it's starting to weigh on me that I'm not hearing back. Is it appropriate for me to email the company directly? What are some ways that I can make sure my resume is getting reviewed? Anyone have any ideas about some more guerilla ways to get a job?
