For the skills, I feel for every interviewer that grills you about them there are five that would have never bothered to interview you if you hadn't listed them. If the job posting has Kubernetes, data science, Angular, React, Ember, Java, linux, apache, python, postgres... for a junior dev role, I am damn sure going to list them even if I only have a general idea about them. I highly doubt they are going to start grilling me on the inner workings of postgres, they just want to know I have worked with an sql database.
Most of the time it feels like a performance from both sides. We only want to hire the best! We need all 30 of these skills! Oh yes sir I am the best I absolutely know all those things!
