I partially agree with much of what he is saying. As a hiring manager looking over resumes, I cared nothing at all for things that were not at all connected with the job. But I was very interested in things that were tangentially related. For instance, I hired mostly MS Sql Server/C# developers, but having python on the resume indicated they had a broader base within programming (and also that they probably learned on their own beyond what was needed just for the job.) The same with having Oracle or MySql on the resume along with SQL Server, it showed a broader base in related technologies. Also, I was very interested in someone with good face to face communication skills. Most of our software was used in-house so the primary users often spoke with the primary developers face to face and a lack of ability to interact that way was awkward at the best.
