To some degree, yes. When you're talking about CSS skills, the distinction is somewhat blurred, because getting things to look right is a big part of front-end programming. Creating things that look bad reads as sloppiness. When you're working for a client and faithfully implementing the client's designs, this is particularly unfair, but it's still the case even then. At any rate, the ability to make a rudimentary web page with HTML and CSS is not exactly impressive. I assume that's why jchendy said "… unless they're really impressive." Like, cool tech demos with HTML and CSS probably would help get you hired, but making a '90s-tastic resume is not even in the same neighborhood.
