Dedicated Skills section

[thehale]

Some people prefer having a dedicated section where they can list out all their skills in one place.

As reported on TeX stack exchange...

I just want to add a skills section in my resume in latex Expressive Resume
Like this one

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/681223/how-to-add-a-skills-section-in-latex-expressive-resume

If this feature request is added, I'm initially inclined towards an API like the following:

\section{ Skills }

\skills{ columns=2 }{
   \skill{ Team Leadership }  % plain text skill
   \skill{ \textbf{ Languages }:  C, Python, JavaScript }  % bolded skill group, followed by skill list
}

I did not add a dedicated skills block by default because I prefer naming my skills in-line with the experiences where I demonstrate the level of my competency with the skill. Personally, I think that provides hiring managers more confidence in my claimed abilities.
