Unexpected pagebreak

Question

I created my cv using this cv template: https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/material-cv/rnrnhvmfxyrw and here's my edited files: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ok8ftdktnjep6nh/AABmMCzZ3bjDmskger0Oi-YJa?dl=0

My question is, if I force pagebreak the template looks as it should:

But if I remove the page break as in fig2, latex puts an unneccessary (and unwanted) pagebreak right after contacts section. This forces me to change the \vspace right after begin{document} and sometimes change the pagebreak's position whenever I edit information. What's the cause and how can I solve this? Thanks in advance.

The template inserts a number of \vspaces to creating the appropriate layout spacing. However, in most cases, it uses \vspace* (as opposed to \vspace), which inserts a \nobreak within the code.

You may want to remove these \vspace* insertions manually (as you may want to keep a CV heading with its sectional content, but would allow a break between the sections.

Alternatively, a quick-fix (which is not perfect) would be to make \vspace* be equivalent to \vspace by adding the following to your preamble:

\makeatletter
\DeclareRobustCommand\vspace{\@ifstar\@vspace\@vspace}
\makeatother

If I add those lines to the preamble, surely sections align, but I can't push the name-surname and the picture down... They're always at the top – bonc Oct 30 '16 at 21:32
@bonc: Instead of \vspace*{85pt}, use \par\rule{0pt}{85pt}%. Or, you can replace all \vspace* in your code with \vspace and keep only a select number of \vspace*. What's the difference? See Adding vertical space at the start of a page. – Werner Oct 31 '16 at 01:19
