Great tip: HR is just matching technical words they don't understand as a filter. They also do this for titles. So they might be looking for a "Project Director" but think you are a poor fit because your last title was "Founder". And for past employers. You may have done marketing at Intel. They will see Intel and think you were an engineer. Etc. Also, peer interviews are very important and often the least thought through. Try to connect to your potential co-workers. That is where qualified candidate usually stall.

As a former non-IT systems engineer[1] I have this problem frequently. I get pings once a month or so for DevOps and SRE type positions from in-house recruiters or various companies, but never anything for embedded development (which I was actually doing at the time I was called a "systems engineer"). Now that I have more than a couple years if NLP experience the contacts are getting more relevant, though less frequent. Unfortunately, I don't want to make a career out of NLP.
