No offense but putting that stuff in a resume is wasted space. Mine is 3 pages long. This is very bad advice.
What is more key is putting every damn piece of software and skill you have in the resume for the search to find you. Put every piece of experience in there to satisfy HR and get the hiring manager to notice your resume. Make the resume specific to the job, not some boilerplate resume.
The interview can cover your personality and see if you would be a good fit for the team. Resume space is too valuable.
There are at least 4 techs on this site who were having trouble getting recruiters and job board searches to find them. After I showed them my resume and told them about bot searches etc. They all had recruiters calling them within days.
