I'm not a hiring manager and never been on the interviewer side of interviews, but I'm gonna try to elaborate on OP comment, as I'm of similar feelings about most templates - they try to be memorable/standout or focus on wrong things instead of simply being informative and straight to the point

allocating a literal third of space to a self-rated list of skills is kinda bad move, it might seem like you're trying to be honest but to me it speaks ego problems, and that you're too focused on tools instead of solving problems at hand. I would much rather prefer having skills/tech used listed together with each job

imo the most important info on resume is

1. work experience (pet projects/contributions to open source if you're big nerdo)

2. location/timezone

3. name and contacts
