As a recruiter, do you prefer to see technologies listed under each job, or in a separate "technologies/skills" section?

Writing that "list of words that constitute all the things I know" has always been the most difficult for me, and I'm never quite sure what people are looking for, or what kind of assumptions they're making about it (e.g. I should hope it's obvious, given my resume, that I can use the command line. Do I really need to say that? Should I break out 'tangentially-related programming skills' into a separate list? I have no idea!)



So I'm not really a 'recruiter' but I play one on TV so to speak. My answer is going to be wicked unhelpful: both.

Put the skill you used in the description of the job:

- Developed integrated reporting tool using CouchDB.

then in you list what your proficient at. I hate the skills section too, but its definitely helpful.
