Two questions for you:

  1. Do you want recruiters to find you for jobs that use those things?
  2. Are you comfortable being asked about them in an interview?

my eyes hurt just looking at that, you're really competent enough in all of those technologies? I would maybe cut in the half and pick your top ones, just hope you don't get drilled with something you haven't touched in a while 😄 in an interview lol

assuming i'm competent

generally its easier to market yourself as a specialist, and listing only relevant skills for the type of role that you're applying to as the rest is generally just noise

@agile owl ^ I think he puts it better

#

you can't be jack of all trades man, and if you were I would be scared, humans can only be competent in some many things

#

trust me I try to do way more than I can chew all the time and it takes some reflecting to really know what your special at and what you can take a look at, the internet is filled with nothing more than "noise" i.e your saying shit that is not 100% true and I would have to basically hope for the best if dealing with you

#

keep them if you want, but atleast pick top 3 or something that you can defend yourself if a pro in that field comes your way, the second someone more focused comes along then all those other stuff start to hurt your image

#

just switch roles and see, if you wanted to hire someone, you picking a guy with deep knowledge in 1 thing (what you actually need help with) or a guy that's touched 10 technologies in a year and knows lord knows what from that

Random question did you write this in LaTeX?

It looks like it's from Jake's template, which is a well-traveled latex resume

Yeah

Gotcha. I wrote mine w/o a template and had to make modifications to make it ATS-compatible. If it's a known template then it should already have those
