The skills section of a resume serves two masters, the HR Dept/Recruiters, and hiring managers. You need to list out every keyword ever to get through the first, yet somehow signal to the second which skills are more prominent than others.
A pie chart, tag cloud, or some other visualization would probably go a long way - just don't get too obfuscated, or HR will just get confused & move on to the next guy.
- Goladus 16y agoThis is where the work history and various other sections of the resume come in. Explain some of the most significant projects you've worked on and describe the nature of your contributions. If you describe 10 years of experience in web development environments using PHP, when you put C in your skills section it will be clear that C is not one of your core skills. You're probably trying to make the point that you can read and understand C if you have to, and if that's important to the employer they should follow up.
