Related to (3) and the messaging, OP's post here reads to me like he's positioning himself as a generalist. Companies simply do not hire generalists other than very narrow corner cases. He should figure out what speciality a company is looking for and showing the side of your experience that best fits what they're looking for.

Then he ought to be spending 90% of his effort finding those narrow corner cases instead of sending out 1,000,000 applications.
