My guess is that c/c++ experience is really good when you apply for a c or c++ job. If you apply for a web developer job mostly consisting of html+css+js it might not be seen as a plus. Even for c# and java jobs c++ experience is somewhat good but not perfect.

My view has been that the experience is good but not enough, you must show a willingness to learn other things and work in other languages and any experience in the languages actually used trumps a lot of other things.

How do you show that when you're no even invited to the interviews in the first place? HR looks at your resume first when screening, not your willingness to learn.
