There are quite a few pitfalls with CVs for flying jobs. If you want to mail me a copy of your CV I'd be happy to advise you on it.
I would suggest keeping the CV to one page, and, having seen quite a few, there are lots of things to miss off. Things like what schools you attended and when, what grades you got in your school exams, the fact that you have one hour in a simulator. The fact that you have 0.5 hours in anything.
They just want to see -
Your name and contact info
Type of licence
Medical
Total hours
Hours on anything relevant you've flown (if you had 200 hours on a Kingair you'd put that in. If you have 35 hours in a Duchess you wouldn't).

The other stuff isn't really relevant, although if you've done anything interesting then it is worth putting that in, in somewhere like "Other interests". Perhaps if you've climbed Everest or competed in the last Olympics or something - might get you an interview.
