Was your field specific? Or just like a generalist java job etc.

Def good to change it up when things get stale.




My field is not all that specific, but experience is how you sell it.

In my case I have 5 years of experience working on ETL processes (SSIS) and 10 years of SQL either troubleshooting said ETL or writing aggregated reports.

Now I could be down on myself and say "I only use C# occasionally for troubleshooting or glue code", or I could sell my experience and point out that I designed and delivered reliable solves to complicated customer requests. Often those ran reliably for years. Usually they were "boring" SQL solutions, but hey, use the right tool for the job.
