The fact that developers add languages to their resumes that they have only touched on is a result of job postings that list incredible numbers of skills which are probably only touched on in the job itself. It took me 10 seconds to find a job posting on Craigslist, titled "Web Applications Programmer". Here are only a few lines from the "Position Requirements"
Fluent with PHP, Python, JavaScript, MySQL, HTML, XML, CSS, web services (SOAP, XML – RPC…)
Knowledge of java, ActionScript, Flex and C# is an asset
Experienced with AutoCAD, SolidWorks, Inventor, 3D Studio Max, Flash, Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Adobe Illustrator
The list goes on to include a bunch of other stuff, plus an array of other non-technical skills.
What do companies expect? Just to get an interview one might need to add something they've only touched on.
