I have a document where there is problem is line spacing.
What are the other options for line spacing other than \vfill and \vspace?
Here is the code which shows the problem:

Best Answer
LaTeX is designed so, that vertical spaces (in normal circumstances) are defined global. Consequently manual tweaking of distance between items, paragraphs etc is surplus. Even more, it destroy document consistency and make it ugly.
I try to cleanup all surplus stuff in your code as
\indent after\item, manual correction of vertical space, use of\textbf{...}in\resheading` (it is already in its definition), etc.Also I redesign
\resheadingwhere I add vertical space before and after it and correct its width. For table I use answers from your previous questions, foritemizeI useenumitempackage.Since you use
a4paperI also change all imperial units to SI units (mm). On the end I obtain:If you like to have different spacing in list, you can change this with option
\itemsepin\setlist[itemize]{leftmargin=*}. For details, see package documentation. To my opinion default settigns are well selected.
