But if the average person sends out 1000 applications then the average job gets 1000 applications.

That would be true if there were exactly as many jobs as applicants. In reality I think there are fewer jobs than applicants, so you can already increase the number of applications they recieve quite a bit. Plus, by definition the most popular jobs will have more people applying to them, so the chances are you will be sending an application to all the ones that everyone else is, not the ones that aren't getting them. So while the true average might be lower, the average number of applications to a job you apply for is likely to be even higher.
