How to control vertical spacing before and after Itemize within the tabular environment?

Question

After asking this question about how to add some spacing between two row in a tabular environment, I figured out some strange behaviour of the itemize command within the tabular* environment.

Using the solution suggested by Steven B. Segletes leads me to another one. When I use the itemize command inside of my tabular* environment I am not able to remove the vertical spacing after it if it is at the very end of the cell. If it is some text before and after it is fine.

My MWE to illustrate my issue

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[left=1.5cm,top=2cm,right=1.5cm,bottom=2.5cm,nohead,nofoot]{geometry}
\usepackage{enumitem}
\setlist{nosep}

\setlength{\tabcolsep}{0pt}
\newenvironment{entrylist}{%
  \begin{tabular*}{\textwidth}{@{\extracolsep{\fill}}ll}
}{%
  \end{tabular*}}

\renewcommand{\bfseries}{}
\newcommand{\entryacquis}[5]{%
  #1&\parbox[t]{14.5cm}{%
    \textbf{#2}%
    \hfill%
    #3\\%
    #4\strut}\\
{Skills~:} &#5} 

\begin{document}

\begin{entrylist}
\entryacquis
{6\thinspace --\thinspace 8.2008}
{Job Position}
{A company}
{something}
{Some learned skills}
\end{entrylist}
\vspace{40pt}

\begin{entrylist}
\entryacquis
{6\thinspace --\thinspace 8.2008}
{Job Position}
{A company}
{\begin{itemize}
\item Something
\end{itemize}}
{Some learned skills}
\end{entrylist}
\vspace{40pt}

\begin{entrylist}
\entryacquis
{6\thinspace --\thinspace 8.2008}
{Job Position}
{A company}
{text
\begin{itemize}
\item Something
\end{itemize}
text}
{Some learned skills}
\end{entrylist}

\end{document}

And the output it produce :

Can somebody help me to figure out how to have the same spacing as in the first table with a list of item at the very bottom of my table's cell ?

Just play with the before and after keys for itemize:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[hmargin=1.5cm,top=2cm,bottom=2.5cm,noheadfoot]{geometry}
\usepackage{enumitem}
\setlist{nosep}

\setlength{\tabcolsep}{0pt}
\newenvironment{entrylist}{%
  \begin{tabular*}{\textwidth}{@{\extracolsep{\fill}}ll}
}{%
  \end{tabular*}}

\renewcommand{\bfseries}{}
\newcommand{\entryacquis}[5]{%
  #1&\parbox[t]{14.5cm}{%
    \textbf{#2}%
    \hfill%
    #3\\%
    #4\strut}\\
{Skills~:} &#5}

\begin{document}

\begin{entrylist}
\entryacquis
{6\thinspace --\thinspace 8.2008}
{Job Position}
{A company}
{something}
{Some learned skills}
\end{entrylist}
\vspace{40pt}

\begin{entrylist}
\entryacquis
{6\thinspace --\thinspace 8.2008}
{Job Position}
{A company}
{\begin{itemize}[before=\vspace*{-\baselineskip}, after=\vspace*{-\baselineskip}]
\item Something
\end{itemize}}
{Some learned skills}
\end{entrylist}
\vspace{40pt}

\begin{entrylist}
\entryacquis
{6\thinspace --\thinspace 8.2008}
{Job Position}
{A company}
{text
\begin{itemize}
\item Something
\end{itemize}
text}
{Some learned skills}
\end{entrylist}

\end{document}
