Ask HN: Should you include a list of technologies in your CV?

3 points| oldestofsports | 4 days ago

I'm talking about a "skills" section where you simply list the technologies you have experience with, presumably tailored a bit for the role you are applying for. Like this:

Skills: - Java - AWS - Kafka - RabbitMQ - Docker ...

Do recruiters care at all about such a list?

If I'd be recruiting, I'd be only interested in what specific achievements the candidate has, regardless of what programming language or cloud provider they have used. But I've noticed that this list seems to be quite common, so I'm now questioning myself.

Would be great to hear what people who are actively recruiting think. Do I need this on my CV?
