General ⇒ \vspace{} not working before itemized list

[sckasx]

Hi all,

I have the following in my tex file:

Code: Select all

 
44 \section{{EDUCATION}}
 45 \vspace{8pt}
 46     \begin{itemize} \itemsep +2pt % reduce space between items
 47     \item DOCTOR OF PHARMACY, Pharm.D. \\
 48     {\sl Tam University   Ventura, CA} \hfill August 2005 - June 2009
 49     \item BACHELOR OF FINE ARTS, Graphic Design \\
 50     {\sl University of California   Goleta, CA} \hfill August 1997 - June 2003
 51     \end{itemize}

However, the \vspace is not being executed before my itemized list! If I add content to the "EDUCATION" section before the itemized list then it works. But I don't want to add content before the list. Anyone have ideas?

Cheers,
ScKaSx

It works for me. It is advised that you put your permeable here to tackle any problem.

You are absolutely right it works! I was expecting a larger difference...arg.

Btw, what do you mean by "permeable"
