Resume (order of work experience & education)
Posted: Thu Sep 26, 2013 1:42 pm
I'm applying this cycle and am hoping some of you could help with a question about how I should order my resume:
I've been working for the last year as a project manager and want to list that on my resume first as it's had a defining impact on me. With that in mind, it's the focus of my personal statement and my undergrad pre-law adviser feels that education should be listed first. I'm pretty inclined to go with her advice as she's really experienced and it's a gut feeling to list work experience first more than anything. Just want to make sure it's the right move (as I checked out the TLS write-up and it mentioned that people who work should put that first)
What's the standard for people applying with work experience?
Thanks
