Your resume is a way to get a hiring manager or recruiter interested in talking to you about a position you applied to. It doesn't need to answer every possible question they'll have, but it should pique their interest.
My resume's structure is:
- Name
- Contact information
- Education
- Skills
- Related Work Experience
The full resume is 2 pages, but I usually trim to 1 page depending on the role I'm apply for.
Under each work experience be sure to highlight your impact to the company (i.e. did you increase number of users, deliver critical feature, reduce company costs, etc) and the tech stack you used.
Franky, I would not read your detailed skills section, because it needs to be in some professional context.

I'm currently trying to rewrite my professional resume realizing the mistakes I made on the previous one. Now I want to keep my resume clean and easy to read. I think I should also keep the technical jargon separated from stuff like my personal info and work/educational experiences.
I have explained under each work experience the responsibilities in sense of impact and achievements, but I feel it might not be sufficient to thoroughly showcase my professional skills. I thought maybe I can go into more details in a separate section for the interested individuals.
Is what I'm planning to do a good idea or it will just be overlooked completely?
Update: I'm pretty sure I'm in a country which there is no standard. I have personally seen tons of resumes ranging from 1 to several pages. But I wasn't planning to go more than 2 or 3 pages at most.
The resume template I have chosen has quite a few spacing in it to be aesthetically pleasing so I can't really put everything necessary in the first page.
