Two points: My manager will not interview any candidate who states on resume or any public profile their age, religion, or any other factor that could be considered a legally-protected basis for discrimination. This even extends sometimes to graduation dates if they are in the distant past. He simply states that even interviewing such a candidate creates the potential for lawsuits (candidates claiming they were not hired due to these factors). Right or wrong, I'm sure this is even more prevalent among HR-savvy hiring managers. Your resume and/or public profiles mention both your age and your religion. Secondly, you mention that people have disagreements about the value of generalists. While this is true, it does seem there is consensus on the fact that as the field has developed over past decades, jobs have become more specialized, and failing to cater your resume to the type of position you are seeking is a huge part of the reason you are not getting interviews. I can understand not wanting to "throw away" all the stuff you've done over the years; wanting that to be acknowledged is a very human thing, very understandable. This stuff belongs on your personal website, though, not your resume. Your resume is a targeted sales pitch, and those interested in learning more about you will be able to see the rest of the (less relevant) stuff you've worked on in your career on your website.
