A hiring manager may not have enough time to go through an entire two-page resume, but he will certainly have enough time (and inclination) to assess your candidature through the skills that you mention on your resume. Be fair to yourself and focus on writing a skills section that outlines you as the perfect candidate for any given job.
The skills section on a patient access representative resume charts out what you can do and how you intend to use your skills to contribute to the company’s success. Without highlighting your abilities, you are risking your resume being filed for “later” or worse, thrown away. Five or six bullet points emphasizing why you are such a good choice for a position are sufficient. But make these five or six points talk volumes for you as a viable choice.
