I've had the "opportunity" to read several 4+ page resumes like this. (Current record is 9 pages!) Candidates are definitely not doing themselves any favors. I expect that you used source control at your software engineering job. Listing it as a bullet point on your resume is just wasting your space and my time.

Another favorite is people who don't trim down previous experience. Every time I add a position to my resume, I go back over every other position and remove or compress bullet points based on what I think is important from that job now. And, of course, I've completely removed things like irrelevant college summer jobs. This is the main mechanism that allows my resume to still fit on a single (!) page.

The problem is that, to use your example, if a job requires Git there might be an automated filter looking for the keyword Git. A good rule of thumb is that if it's in the job description it should be in your resume somewhere.

Individual technologies should just be listed somewhere. There's not enough space to waste an entire line for a single technology. Your bullet points should be talking about how you used technology to deliver business value. Not how you used a technology to do the thing that everyone does with that technology.

You can just list them as a list of keywords somewhere.

On several occasions I would have ended up writing a multi-page resume as well if recruiters/job ad websites hadn't told me explicitly not to do so. One easily ends up worrying that you need to show off a tower off knowledge.

For my next job hunt I definitely concentrate on the things relevant for the kind of thing I'm looking for. Especially adding bullets about things one dislikes backfires eventually after taking a position. At some point one will get asked to work with exactly that stuff because nobody likes doing it
