When you're updating your CV over the years, as well as adding the new things you've learned, make sure you also remove the stuff that isn't relevant anymore.
I remember going through mine after a few years of updating and realising there were some languages listed in my skills that I couldn't even remember the basic syntax for and had no interest in using again in the future.
In our early careers we can be prone to bloating our skills by listing every language we've ever used. I think it's important to make sure you refine this part of your CV as you progress and start to focus on certain areas.
Also +1 in agreement with the others who've said to make it skimmable!

Bloating is definitely what I did. Glad you mentioned that. Definitely going to keep that in mind! Thank you!
