I'm a generalist as well. I can't help you out too much. It's mostly luck.
If you study Cracking the Coding Interview, and you know that book inside and out, and you feel confident you can solve all of the questions in it (you can ignore the Java/C++ stuff if you're not applying for one of those jobs) -- you have a /chance/ to get hired.
But there's lots of smart people with those skills who fail the interview every day.
