well in my way of seeing this it's not what you know but what you can do with it...

if i started to list all the softwares i've used, i think my hands would go numb after the first few hours...and since started using computers in the eighties, it would be a very fun (and nostalgic) list too! i'd rather hear a demo of the work, of have some personal references... but it's cool to know what you know... but you know enough is never enough.. i agree that the scripting part is the most rare thing in your resume...
(i wouldn't list win xp and office, though, nowadays even my mother uses that...) i expect that somebody who can use a daw, can at least use a word processor..

it's good to try and work as an assistant in a studio to get real world experience.. i've been thru that... also build your own daw setup if you can and work a lot to get flight hours as they would say in pilot school... that will count a lot more if you're looking for a job.. also read a lot, get informed... keep it up... and learn to digest equipment manuals on a daily basis...

hands-on experience is what counts really...

good luck... an don't dismay...
