How to force elements to be on the same line?

Question

I want to add skills to a sidebar of my CV created in LaTeX, I am using tcolorbox package to create an oval box around text, but each time I'm creating a new oval box the text (with box) goes to a new line. How can I force it to be added one after another in the same line?

Here is the code for the template (latex template twentysecondcv):

\documentclass[letterpaper]{twentysecondcv} % a4paper for A4
\definecolor{shadecolor}{rgb}{1,0.8,0.3}

\usepackage{times,tcolorbox}
\newtcbox{\ovalbox}{colback=gray!50!white,boxrule=0pt,arc=5pt,
  boxsep=0pt,left=4pt,right=4pt,top=2pt,bottom=2pt}

\profilepic{alice.jpeg}
\cvname{Your Name}
\cvjobtitle{about me}

\begin{document}

\aboutme{}
\contact{contact}

%----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
%    SKILLS

\myskills{
\ovalbox{Skill 1} 
\ovalbox{Skill2} 
\ovalbox{Skill3}
\ovalbox{Skill4}

}

Can you make a [minimal working example (MWE)](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/228)? — samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz, Apr 17 '19 at 19:53
Sure! I just updated the question adding minimal code in the tex file. — Dominika, Apr 17 '19 at 22:10
Thanks a lot for the edit! Could you also link to the version of `twentysecondcv.cls` you are using? I tried with several ones floating around on the net, but they all were missing macros like `\contact`. — samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz, Apr 17 '19 at 22:57
unfortunately searching for https://www.google.com/search?q=twentysecondcv+%22myskills%22 does not give any results which would allow compiling your code — samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz, Apr 18 '19 at 08:25
I used this one: https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/twenty-seconds-resume-slash-cv/mhyfwrmwjkbc — Dominika, Apr 18 '19 at 15:27
I think here you can also download the same template: https://www.latextemplates.com/template/twenty-seconds-resumecv — Dominika, Apr 18 '19 at 15:29
The class files you link to don't define `\myskills` etc. You document cannot be compiled. — samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz, Apr 18 '19 at 15:32
Please make a MWE that is either compilable with the class files you link to or show the relevant changes necessary in the class file to compile your document — samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz, Apr 18 '19 at 15:33
Ok, I'm uploading to Google Drive version that compiles for me: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Zvg-Hw94oHUvdVFwOb4VH3778Y_NT_qx/view?usp=sharing — Dominika, Apr 18 '19 at 20:02

to have all the \tcboxes in the same line, add the nobeforeafter option to the definition of \ovalbox
if you modify the class file, it would be better to change the name as well (e.g. twentysecondcvx.cls) to avoid such confusion over different versions. [also change the first line in the .cls file accordingly]

\documentclass[letterpaper]{twentysecondcvx} % a4paper for A4
\definecolor{shadecolor}{rgb}{1,0.8,0.3}

\usepackage{tcolorbox}
\newtcbox{\ovalbox}{colback=gray!50!white,boxrule=0pt,arc=5pt,
  boxsep=0pt,left=4pt,right=4pt,top=2pt,bottom=2pt,nobeforeafter}
