As JonWLong said this is not the place to advertise your services. But I can tell you, as someone that interviews and hires developers and DBAs that based on what you wrote I would not be the least bit interested in contacting you.

No one is competent in as many things as you have listed. I'm not saying that you don't know them to some extent. But in the current marketplace people look for experts, not generalists.

If you want to be successful I would urge you to decide what it is you want to do and apply for each position with a resume that reflects your experience in that area and that area alone. When I see a resume that looks like a to-do list I just toss it aside and so do most recruiters.
