CV length

[dropcliffsnotbombs]

I notice there is a bit of a divide on where tto put he personal details (name, phone number, email etc).

I always have these in a section right at the end of my CV as I think having them on the front page wastes valuable space for stuff to catch the eye of the person scanning it. Once they have been grabbed by information relevant to the role and have decided they want to take my application further they can then find my contact details at the end.

Also I have my name as the title/header of the document rather than the rather obvious 'Curriculum Vitae' (of course that's what it is).

Should that be "rarely"?

I hesitate to nitpick, but if so that slip means the opposite of what you intended

What I meant was that people don't do any more than skim through pages after the first, but it is indeed true that many don't actually read them at all

I notice there is a bit of a divide on where to put the personal details (name, phone number, email etc) ...

I may change my CV so these details are scattered at random through the CV, in a very small font.

The way I see it, if people can't be bothered to read my CV thoroughly, right the way through, they don't deserve to see my personal details
