I would switch experience with education, since experience always counts for more. Also, split relevant volunteer experience and interests, and post the latter at the bottom. Character info I would always read in a secondary reading to try and weed out the CV's of the people that I felt were most suited for the job (back in the day....).

Just a minor thing: your birthplace is not particularly useful information, so I'd suggest omitting it so there's one less thing to read through before getting to the education and experience sections.

I'd agree with this. Also, is autumn the proper British English rather than fall?

I'd also consider leaving off the Volunteer Experience and Interests unless it was relevant to the particular job.
