As someone who has been on the interviewing side of the table, here's my unsolicited advice.

Highlight the skills that are relevant to the position you're applying for.

Don't list absolutely EVERYTHING on the resume. Leave something for the interview.

Bonus points if you can tell me how you used $RELEVANT_SKILL to solve $RELEVANT_PROBLEM that $PROSPECTIVE_EMPLOYER is needing solved.

That's what I do normally. But the rule of the 5 second look is what makes me doubt about how to structure the skills. Thanks.
