Imo the golden rule is to present just the grade A skills that you feel proficient and are relevant to the position, otherwise you might end up being tested on B skills, score average and leave an impression that you are 'jack of all trades, master of none' 😉

Good point! However, for roles such as a full-stack developer you typically know a few set of skills very well, while having average skills in others. With the growing list of things to learn, it seems pretty impossible to know everything to perfection. How do we square this?
