I would go with number 3 for a proper university CV / application.
You may want to keep the "profile" very, very brief or move it to your cover letter.
Experience in reverse chronological order.
Education from highest to lowest, keep the IT skills section very brief (unless you are applying for an IT intensive position (teaching in the education technology center as an example)). Basic IT skills are a given in today's workplace.
For anything else, number 2 is adequate.
