In my 50s I took a hatchet to my CV and reduced it to what was saleable. I also forgot to include anything older than about 15 years.

Nobody wants someone with all those skills. You want a job, not a commendation.

+1 this. Also, consider having a consultant look at your resume. Take their advice to heart.

I occasionally help my manager hire people, and if there's too much info on the resume, I don't know what YOU want to do. I don't want to hire someone that may be bored with this job.
