Is the order of the items on a CV always the same?

Your CV should be tailored and structured individually for each application. This means that the order of sections is likely to vary from case to case. For example, if your vocational training and degree are highly relevant to the role, you should list your educational background immediately after your personal details. It is crucial that you highlight your strongest points as early as possible in your CV. Recruiters want to be able to spot these at a glance within a few minutes.
