IMHO as an interviewer, when I see these: the rank-order is useful, so that if you put C++ first I might ask you a different question than if you put Python. But the absolute star ratings are just noise; most candidates just use an implicitly-ranked list which is a more concise way of communicating the same information. I've never asked a candidate to rank themselves on a skill out of 10, that seems like a low-signal way to filter for overconfident people.
