As I wrote on the previous thread of this type:

"Think what the person reading it wants to know, and put it in order of importance!

Name at the top for a label, probably followed by contact details. Then immediately put in relevant experience, i.e. licence, ratings, hours (in as much detail as matters to that employer - for example we take on pilots for single-crew flying, and need to know their P1/IFR/MEP time). Then very brief, relevant employment history and even briefer academic qualifications.

A comment about availability (time and flexibility in location) is always useful to me, and I personally like to see interests, although that is not everyone's preference. All on one side of A4 if possible, not five like one CV of a pilot I received."

I would add to you that you shouldn't use a template. I remember what a CV looks like, and when I want to refer to it find it in the pile by that. I don't have a huge number, but for a large employer you might find your CV is identical in style to someone else's. If that was an unimpressive CV yours might immediately go in the bin.
