What are your skills?

Just want to vent.....

When a cook applies for a job do they list their skills as....

Pots
Frying Pans
Whisks
Chicken
Tomatoes
Spring Onions


Because many (not all) software developers seem to love to list their skills as :-

Visual Studio C#
Windows XP
Linux
PHP
ASP.NET
XML

Which leads me to believe they have no skills at all.
