    I've been advised to put Personal Details at the bottom of my CV, drivers license, sports etc...

    Views?
    Agreed. Put the stuff that will get you the job at the top.

    Eg.

    Summary :

    FiveTimes is a <blah blah make youself look good in one or two lines >

    Skills qualifications and experience :

    List of key skills and experience relevant to the job. Copy the spec if you have to so the agent doesnt have to work to hard to match up the key words.

    Past jobs list most recent first.

    Personal stuff, hobbies, memberships etc.

      Yeah, what DB said. For permie roles I tend to put a bit more in the personal stuff, but for contract gigs I keep it short and sweet.
