I have worked as a working student for more than half a year, also I will write my master thesis in the industry dealing with "real world problems". On page 1 are: Skill list, Education, Experience with details about the work done. Page 2 is only sugar: my skill set ranked with year and self-evaluated knowledge, awards, certifications, activities. But you would say anyway that it would do more harm then good?

Not at all. It may not do any harm but it may not do you any good necesarily. Usually, recruiter/managers scan only for 2-3 seconds unless they find specifics that they like.You can keep Page 2 of course. There is no hard and fast rule.
