Any company worth spit and my resume will appreciate reading skillsets that specifically speak to EXPERIENCE. Sure the actual tool/skill may not be used the current job, but everything around today has been built on yesterday. How many times I have worked with younger colleagues who have been stumped with a tool because they were not familiar with its provenance and we all know that documentation never covers everything.
My resume is not about fashion and simply showing if I'm "hip" - it's about showing my experience, my tenure, my ability to learn new tools and develop my skills with the tools of the time in various projects.
This article is trite and beneath the level NetworkWorld commentary.
