Regarding point 2, I've always believed skill clouds to be worthless. Could you elaborate on how different was the response between having it and not having it, and why you think it works?

I even find the name horrendous

If I was looking at a CV with a big list of keywords my eyes would roll heavily.

It gives me no indication of how proficient you are with them or what you've actually done with them.

Not only that but specific experience in technologies, whilst interesting; are not the most important thing to me. If a person is clever, they'll be able to learn it on the job anyway
