Having the skills you cite is great. Goes without saying that those are the real requirements for most jobs, in almost any field. The problem is getting an interview so that you can convince an employer that you do have those skills and attitudes. To get the interview, you have to have the more specific competencies they're looking for, or think they're looking for, in a specific position.

I have about 2.5 of the skills listed at the top.
However, I also have all 5 of your list. I make pretty good money, am well-respected by my peers and managers, and have been told that the company cannot afford to lose me.
I would add a sixth item to your list, though--willingness to learn. Careers are almost always changing and evolving. If you cannot adapt and adjust, you'll be left behind.

Specific languages come and go. The ability to use your brain to solve complex and challenging problems is probably the more fundamental skill. In any job situation there are two words that I hear more than any others - “Industry Experience”.

these aren’t really developer skills, except for mvc and c#. they would be considered support skills to core developer capabilities It depends. CSS and JavaScript are core developer skills for AJAX web sites. PHP is a core developer skill for many web sites. Database skills can be meaning SQL programming, which is a core developer skill for many, especially in enterprise where you need to be able to sift through terabytes of data and billions of complexly interrelated records quickly.

I am a big fan of Apache Wicket, for developing Java-based web applications. Use standard HTML/CSS/Javascript for the front-end, and use Java for the “Code-Behind” logic, similar to ASP.NET. But there is no scripting in the markup, so it’s a clean separation of concerns.

I know, I took the list straight from the Oracle web site. It’s double counting in my opinion, typical Oracle.
