Agree with codegeek and would add to assure you don't sound like you can do everything. When I see a resume that has a variety of skills I don't think versatility, I think, "what do I call this person for". Don't be a jack-of-all-trades because then you're a master of none.

Thanks for your time. I'm going to write some web apps, contribute to the company's github and see where that takes me.

One trap I've fallen into in the past doing this is trying to make the "perfect" github. It could easily become a full time job - you really need a few goals you want to meet and to reassess them regularly

That's excellent advice - I did some soul searching after reading this and wrote down some concrete goals I want to accomplish before applying for the position I have in mind.

Thank you, yarper.

Best of luck to you, concrete goals are a great start.
