Problem/Question

Currently all the items in environment itemize (1. Lorem Ipsum (...) - 4. Lorem Ipsum (...)) are on page 2.

I would like to keep the first item (1. Lorem Ipsum (...)) on the first page and then let the rest (2. Lorem Ipsum (...) and onwards) go to page 2.

I've tried using \begin{samepage} \end{samepage} and adding vertical space with \vspace{} and \vfill{} in between the first item and the second but nothing seems to work.

    Can you add a % ---- Cut Here ---- in the code to make clear where you want the page break?

Well, in my answer https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/403557/16550 I defined a new command \cventrylong to fullfill your needs: 

\newenvironment{myitemize}%
  {\begin{list}{}{%
    \setlength{\labelwidth}{0pt}
    \setlength{\leftmargin}{\hintscolumnwidth+\separatorcolumnwidth}
    }}%
  {\end{list}}

\newcommand*{\cventrylong}[7][.25em]{%
  \begin{tabular}{@{}p{\hintscolumnwidth}@{\hspace{\separatorcolumnwidth}}p{\maincolumnwidth}@{}}%
    \raggedleft\hintstyle{#2} &{%
        {\bfseries#3}%
        \ifthenelse{\equal{#4}{}}{}{, {\slshape#4}}%
        \ifthenelse{\equal{#5}{}}{}{, #5}%
        \ifthenelse{\equal{#6}{}}{}{, #6}%
    }%
  \end{tabular}%
  \vspace*{-\baselineskip}
  {\vspace{-.25em}
   \small\begin{myitemize}\item #7\end{myitemize}}%
  \par\addvspace{#1}%
}

The used environment myitemize allows an page break inside. To use it you need to use command \cventrylong in your cv.

  • Your answers are always impeccable, too. My compliments. When I see the red arrows and numbers (I think created with the paint pen) I'm sure it's you without reading the user. My sincere greetings and good work.
