How to write an effective CV, how to be dare to apply for a higher position? (sh.itjust.works)

Title.

I have a lot of skills I use in my hobbies and helping others out, I study tech shit, physical\digital art and other languages, but my current employment is so basic it doesn't need any of these things. And I have no in-paper proof I know them.

While writing my CV, I feel pretty lost. My position doesn't say anything at all, and I don't know how to show I have experience editing photoes, sound and video in Adobe, coding shit in different languages when it's needed.

Do you have some guides to write a good CV? Or how to write in your occasional works in unrelated fields?

upd: One fucking doctor in my field asked me why I'm still there with all things I did they know about. I didn't know what to answer.

upd2: Thank you Lemmers, you rock.

It's just a stylistic choice; there's other templates. Check their docs for more: https://docs.rxresu.me/

This one is paid (about 5£), but I like the colourful templates a bit more and used it: https://www.cvmaker.uk/ The other one is FOSS. They both have a ton of styles that are really sleek.
