I'm including two versions of my resumé here for feedback. One is on the longer side and goes more into detail with my work experience and the other is a single page that omits a lot of info (work experience specifically) Hoping for feedback on this and what I can change to improve it.

Rick,

I didn't know if I liked the Question headers at first but it started to grow on me because it is different. See how the recruiters feel about it also.

Your Skills section is taking up too much space. This about using columns to bring it up to give you more room for other stuff on that page.

For What I've Done, I would almost add another header to break out projects vs work experience. They almost flow into each other too much.

Also, start with your most recent job and work backward.

Keep an eye out for inconsistent spacing

I like these but they feel lost at the bottom, I would almost say construct more of a letter feel and send that as an additional document or figure out how to get more of these details higher up so they are seen and not just a random page at the end.
