I've been struggling for a while with my CV and I need help on deciding which sections should I include in it? I lack the formatting skill, I remember studying in school how to prepare my CV - there were specific rules, but since then the times have changed tremendously.

I prefer having the following sections:

1. Contact information - very basic - just name, address and telephone;
2. Profile Summary - a brief description of what's happened so far in my professional development;
3. Skill Set - a tabular representation of the basic skills I acquired so far;
4. Education; 
5. Work experience;
6. Additional;

It is relevant to say that I live in Europe and I'm not native English speaker, so I might lack very basic notion about the art of writing a CV.

Please - feel welcomed to express your opinion on:

- whether this section set is sufficient? 
- whether I intent to use the sections correctly? 
- do I break any standards, if I prepare my CV the way I'm planning? should "Skill Set" section be exhaustive (we - the IT people - use enormous amount of buzz words), or should mark the general areas of competency? 
- What, besides languages, should go in Additional?

Any help is highly appreciated!
