I'm very much a generalist freelancer, having gotten to this point by sequentially being a specialist in many different areas - spanning programming, network and hardware engineering, business analysis and project management.
Lately I have found it difficult to get work because the potential clients are looking for very specific skills both in terms of technical and business niches and they don't value my breadth of knowledge and experience.
Hiring managers just can't seem to get their head around the fact that somebody can come up to speed on a specific tech and industry in a matter of days. It's not like I'm ever starting from zero, I'm just picking up how a new thing differs from all that I already know.
