You should be able to talk fluently for at least 1 minute about everything you list as a skill. You should have enough material to be able to talk about your CV as a whole for 45 minutes. Not a cast iron rule but this will see you through most interviews. Good luck!

Thank you, that is an interesting way to look at it, and makes a whole lot of sense! I guess it should be amended by "meaningfully talk about", but I get that from context.

To be honest, the process of writing a CV is mostly painful for me because I have to evaluate myself and feel quite inadequate. At the same time, I have multiple companies wanting me despite not being very good, so my actual chances are really good. Software development in Germany is going crazy at the moment.
