Searches Related To... (Do Have a Skills Section)
Notice how at the bottom, Google has a "Searches related to ____" section? This is to help people with recommendations on how they could format their queries a bit better. They can also just click to get even more specific.
A Skills section is similar. It's all about SEO-- you are maximizing the odds of an automated resume scanner or recruiter getting a match for the terms they were looking for. It's even better if you add proficiency or years. As mentioned before, "3+ years Angular and React experience on the growth team" is much more specific than "Javascript".
As opposed to an Objective section, a Skills section is a rapid-fire way for the person reading it to check off what they need. Again, it's all about making it easy for the person to select you. If your skills are that irrelevant, perhaps it's not a good fit, and you'd be better off looking for roles closer to your past experience.
