Well, I included BlitzMax in my CV recently (as well as other languages I used) and in cover letter I said something like: I used to program in C++ but decided to use BlitzMax for the sake of productivity. That and the fact that I completed over 5 commercial games in Blitz should do the trick unless your next employer is more interested in geeks that know how to do tricks in C/C++ instead of getting stuff done.
For experienced programmer switching to another language takes about a week (that's my experience and that's what I hear from other programmers).
Generaly you should focus on what you achieved instead of how (though it might be good to say how you did it too).
cheers
