If I'm going to become a specialist, this is entirely correct. But is this the right path? Or is there a way to salvage a generalist career?


I think you should polish your CV.

Maybe one of those recruiters can help you prune out a bit of the fluff, and expand on things that are relevant.

Also, since the CV clearly implies you're coming back from retirement, you should probably mention it explicitly and make what you have been doing the past 5 years sound good. I don't know how to do that, but those recruiters probably do.


Sure. Learn something specific and up-to-date. Then get a job. Then apply the generalist skills to out-perform expectations.
