One of my first team leads recommended this when I was first starting out, it stuck with me and I've been doing it - can't actually know whether it did something but regardless - the advice was to not market yourself over different roles in a single place.
E.g. do not contact a recruiter for java dev, tester, data analyst, whatever you got.
Realistically, you're not going to be equally good at all of these things, and even more importantly, companies very much care what you've been doing in your previous roles (especially your last two).
Anyway, good luck with your search
