What layout of resume works best for experienced programmers?

Currently my layout is:
Contact Details
Focus (goal)
Technical Skills
Professional Experience (Responsibilities + achievements at each job)
Education
Interests

I feel my current layout uses up too much valuable space. Most of the online templates feel like junior Resumes with emphasis on education so I am not sure how I can improve it.

I wonder how many hiring managers actually care about goal/objective? To me it looks useless. Also, is it necessary to have summary of technical skills/technologies? If so, would it not make more sense for it to be mentioned later in the Resume rather then at the top? Finally, do you have separate section for achievements?

Many thanks.
