"multiple offers" kind of depends on your strategy. I had two job offers (this was 2008), but I also stopped looking once I got my second because that was the job I really wanted. Would have been happy with #1 but probably would have kept looking in a selective fashion just to see.
But yes, it greatly helps your job seeking status if you have the qualities you listed, plus some others (most particularly that you are an efficient person, communicate well, and have good references). Looking at the other side of the spectrum, if our group wanted to hire a warm body, it would be easy. If we wanted to hire a competent pathologist who would do an adequate job and be respected at our hospital, it would also be fairly easy. But to hire someone with the specific skills and training you want, and excellent communication/time management/etc skills, it becomes harder. The main disconnect is that the best jobs don't turn over very often (the best groups don't hire someone new every year), and when they do there are usually specific skills in mind (our most recent job search involves hematopathology + some type of surg path training + management ability and/or desire). Things like communication skills and being a good fit for the group are givens. We have not interviewed candidates because they have mediocre references, or because someone in our group knows the person and knows of issues, because they communicate poorly or don't sound confident, and other related things.
