Hey friend, please take this as a friendly suggestion. What others say seems to be true. But this is a good news. Look it seems that it is more about you than them. Which is fantastic as you can't change them and you can influence you.

What that recruiter wrote you is pretty much what I got from your post. Here is what I would do: pick some of the keywords you heard asked for and research them with genuine interest. Then apply to few jobs you don't even care about and show genuine interest (or give your best shot at this). And just pay attention how they are reacting. You are not going for a job, just a research. It should be fun.

As a colleague, I wish you find your groove and job you will genuinely enjoy.
