My CV is 7 pages long. In my case, the ~30 years of experience I've had as a software developer, data scientist, assistant professor, and quantitative researcher - not to mention my refereed publications in several computation-heavy areas - should be proof enough that I possess the minimal amount of programming skills for the job. Either that or I've been pulling the wool over everyone's eyes for 3 decades. In my present and past experience, the asymmetry of what is required for a computational scientist (the science, the programming, the CS whiteboard stuff) vs. software engineer (software engineering) is quite pronounced. YMMV.
