How you order your resume sections depends on your career journey. Ideally, the sections with the most important and relevant information should go first.  So if you recently graduated and have yet to join the workforce, placing your education section first will allow recruiters to see skills and competencies gained through your academic experience, making up for a lack of actual work experience. On the other hand, if you are a seasoned professional, you should let your work experience shine by putting it first.
