What is the consensus about CV presentation nowadays?

I am over the age of 40. I have seen on a couple of threads people saying that the guidance young people are given about how to present their CV isn't the same as in 'ancient' times, but how is it different?

Mine was always Name and contact details, a personal statement, then qualifications then job history, references, all just listed.

Is it vastly different now?
I ask because I have just finished teaching a qualifying course in a certain subject and a couple of students have asked me to look over their CVs. I don't want to give them out of date guidance or correct something because it isn't what I would do, when it might be actually correct?

Contact details are typically pared back now - you can just give a location city, plus phone and email, since no one is using snail mail. People will also sometimes include links to their LinkedIn/GitHub/online portfolio depending on the field.

"Personal statements" are not something I would encourage. You can have a brief bio/elevator pitch type summary of your experience at the top, but for grads I wouldn't bother unless they're mature/nontraditional students who have prior experience to showcase. Job history should always be first, in reverse chronological order. Then qualifications. No need to include reference details, nobody uses them. You can have a "references on request" line, or just drop that.

The best reference on CVs and job hunting I could recommend is askamanager.org, although it is a US site, but the only major difference is that they favour one-page resumes whereas two is acceptable/expected in the UK for an experienced hire.
