I've always liked the way this guy's CV is structured(it's on his front page): http://www.zeroflux.org/static/resume.pdf

Btw: he's the guy who created ArchLinux, though he's no longer the lead developer.



It's nicely laid out. I don't think I'd put education up top (in fact, I don't). Maybe you would if you're closer to just having graduated, and/or from a particularly renown University.


You're hinting at a general rule that goes something like "the most salient facts go at the top".

When I was trying to get my first job out of college, the fact that I'd graduated from a well-known school with a decent GPA was really important, and mentioned at the top. Ten years later, the fact that I went to school is just barely interesting enough to sneak in at the very bottom of the page, and my grades aren't worth mentioning at all.
