Best Answer:
It's good to show relevant skills that are outside the core job description--- i.e. applying as a hair stylist but you also speak 3 different languages and know window design. The salon can use those skills even if a traditional hairstylist wouldn't do those things. But really "out there" skills should be left off--- it's nice if you have dental assistant skills but it doesn't bring any value to a hair salon. Putting too much extraneous stuff in a resume makes you look unfocused, like you start a lot of things and never finish them, and gives a potential employer the impression that you're not really serious about a long-term career as a hairstylist because you've been all over the place in the past. So you will be better off tailoring several resumes that are more focused on the specific job, and leaving out the irrelevant stuff.

In your hobbies and interest section write what skills you have gained from your hobbies Or you could put under past experience what job you have had and what skills you have gained from them

Well, just list all the jobs you've done - And bullet point the skills and duties for each one. I also include a section called Skills where I list things like typing speed, MS Word, MS Excell, Work well in a team or on own initiative, motivated, hardworking...etc etc.

it's always good to list all your skills even if not relevant list them separately with other jobs you have done and they skills you gained from those jobs and list skills acquired from schooling and hands on experience.

I would put "Skills Relative" and "Skills General" two seperate groupings one right after the other. You can also make a section with just General Knowledge Skills and Abilitiies it would be best to put this at the bottom of the Resume, but don't make it to long employer's get tired of reading long Resumes Later, Thanks For The Points............Peace
