It's interesting that different companies will want different things on a resume. This is why no two jobs I've applied for get the same resume. If they want lots of experience in a lot of different things, sometimes they DO want the laundry list of acronyms (make sure you know what they all stand for). You might not even get through the first selection if they use XSLT heavily and you didn't think it was relevant that you had worked with it before on a project.

I've also had interviewers rip the other pages out of my resume in front of me, but everyone is different. At the end of the day, don't feel too bad about not getting an offer. A lot of it is luck.

Really? That's incredibly rude.
