Where on the resume should education be placed?
A. For about 3 or 4 years after graduation, education is placed up front on the resume. For professions where the degree is a primary qualification such as physicians, lawyers and university professors, education tends to also appear first on the resume. However, for the rest of the U.S. applicant pool, education tends to be placed towards the end of the resume because potential employers are more interested in recent related work experience.
