" pre-sales, architecture design and lead the onshore/offshore teams to deliver client projects"

Usually senior technical people who can do pre-sales and lead projects as a "safe pair of hands" are in demand. Smaller companies are usually always recruiting people for those roles - I suspect you are getting filtered by clueless HR people for not having the the right buzzwords.

Have you thought about maybe paying for some training courses - the content of the courses might be dubious but it might get you the right branding?

This actually crossed my mind! I worked with these guy and he was recently "fired" and straight off in 2 weeks, he found a job in another industry. I was curious why and took a look quickly at his LinkedIn profile and wow, every cliche buzzword you can imagine is on his profile.

My profile is fairly straight forward plus I just can't bullshit the way he did it.
