My problem is #2: I have been freelancing since 2012, and it's hard to list 20+ different projects I have worked on since, and being clear it was a contract, not full time employment. I have to choose between just underselling myself, or listing so much stuff no one will take me seriously. Do you have an example of a good CV that clearly separates employment from freelance work? I have yet to see one. To answer #3: I have management experience but I want a technical role, or to provide actual high-level consulting services if needed (improving processes, architecture review, etc.) That said, thank you for the advice. My problem is that I never tried to fit into a single role, so it's hard to create a targeted CV when my foremost talent is learning on the job and wearing many hats. Recruiters tend to look for specialists on a specific piece of tech, while I have first hand knowledge that the more flexible you are, the more value you can provide your client, if you are able to get through the arbitrary restrictions the recruiter has placed on the job spec.
