Regardless of what you perceive your technical specialty to be, you need to create a "sales pitch" and sell yourself to the job you are applying to.
Similar to waiting tables at a restaurant, 99% of people don't want a list of the ingredients, nor do they want the waiter to say "I like everything on the menu because im a food generalist". Customers want to hear "The burger is great because its cheesy and juicy".
The scope of how you are selling, whether its skills or physical objects, is very important. Calling yourself a generalist is just setting yourself up for failure for a job search. Sell yourself to the role, don't cast a "generalist" net and get upset when nobody thinks you are a correct fit for a role.
