I am trying to create what is shown in the following picture but without any success:

Therefore, I would like to have 4 Field titles in the form of a 2x2 table where the column A is approximately double the size of column B because there exist more skills to mention. In addition, each column contains two bullet points as indicated in the screenshot.

I tried multiple ways including:

% importing necessary package for side by side bullets.
\usepackage{multienum}
\newenvironment{multiitem}{% \multienumerate\renewcommand{\labelname}{\textbullet}%
}{% \endmultienumerate%
}
\begin{multiitem}
\mitemxx{Field A}{Field B} \begin{itemize} \item Example \end{itemize}
\end{multiitem}

The first problem is that I want the fields to be 'empty' bullet points but \mitemxx[] {Field A}{Field B} does not work, therefore is not the same as \item[].

Can someone show how I can do this?

You can use two minipages that are [t]op-aligned:

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
\section*{Key skills}
\noindent
\begin{minipage}[t]{.6667\linewidth} Field A \begin{itemize} \item Expert: Skill 1, 2, 3. \item Advanced: Skill 4, 5, 6. \end{itemize} Field C \begin{itemize} \item Expert: Skill 1, 2, 3. \item Advanced: Skill 4, 5, 6. \end{itemize}
\end{minipage}\hfill
\begin{minipage}[t]{.3333\linewidth} Field B \begin{itemize} \item Expert: Skill 1, 2, 3. \item Advanced: Skill 4, 5, 6. \end{itemize} Field D \begin{itemize} \item Expert: Skill 1, 2, 3. \item Advanced: Skill 4, 5, 6. \end{itemize}
\end{minipage}
\end{document}

A way to approach this is by using a table. You will set the first column to be twice the second. Then divide your fields accordingly. For listing, you can use \begin{itemize} ... \end{itemize}. I have also put the table lines just to give an idea about how the layout is.

\documentclass{exam}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{enumitem}
\setlist{nosep} % Reduce the while space of itemize environment
\begin{document} \begin{table}[h] \centering \begin{tabular}{|p{4in}|p{2in}|} \hline A & B\\\hline Field A & Field B\\ \begin{itemize} \item A Expert: Skill 1, 2, 3. \item A Advanced: Skill 4, 5, 6. \end{itemize} & \begin{itemize} \item B Expert: Skill 1, 2, 3. \item B Advanced: Skill 4, 5, 6. \end{itemize}\\ Field C & Field D\\ \begin{itemize} \item C Expert: Skill 1, 2, 3. \item C Advanced: Skill 4, 5, 6. \end{itemize} & \begin{itemize} \item D Expert: Skill 1, 2, 3. \item D Advanced: Skill 4, 5, 6. \end{itemize}\\\hline \end{tabular} \end{table}
\end{document}
