Is it possible to get hired without a phone in Canada?

I have a flip phone that I prefer to keep it always off with the battery removed - due to privacy reasons. I also have a text-only VOIP number (couldn't find a service that accepted Monero and had calling functionality) and an email.

I've been looking for jobs and I've put my VOIP number (mentioning that it's text-only) and my email on my resume. However, I didn't put my flip phone's phone number on it. So, I've just been wondering, is this really going to affect my chances of getting an job?

How many cover letters/resumes will I need to send out in order to get a minimum wage type job in the GTA in Canada?

Right now, I am currently in the process of hunting for jobs (mostly minimum wage though). I am currently trying to write as many cover letters and resumes as I can, and I'm planning to go out on January 2nd to apply to as many positions as I can both in-person and online (if that's allowed).

How many resumes/cover letters do you think I'll need in order to actually get an interview and a job?

So far, I only have around 15 resumes/cover letters, but I try to tailor them.

Am I also legally allowed to apply both online and in-person to the same job position at about the same time in Ontario, Canada?

Is it worth trying to make money from buying broken laptops, repairing them (and maybe try installing Libreboot onto), and then reselling?

I just love working with computers and I have a bit of money. Problem is that I don't have a job, and this hobby is quite expensive. So, I thought of perhaps trying to make at least a little bit of money from it by buying old and broken laptops, repairing them, and then reselling them. Perhaps if I get a laptop that's compatible with Libreboot, such as the Lenovo ThinkPad T480, I could also flash Libreboot onto it.

Nevertheless, I'm also planning to get a real job soon.
