You know that impressive list of database technologies you confidently slapped on your resume? PostgreSQL, MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server, MongoDB—basically the entire database hall of fame? Yeah, turns out knowing they exist and actually being able to write a proper query are two wildly different skill levels.
The recruiter sees "expert in 4 database systems" and imagines you architecting enterprise-level data solutions. Reality check: you're about to crash harder than that Ferrari when they ask you to explain the difference between INNER JOIN and LEFT JOIN, or god forbid, optimize a query. SQLite crash course? More like SQL-ightest clue what I'm doing course. Pro tip: maybe stick to the ones you can actually spell without autocorrect.
