If you’re using Wonsulting’s ResumAI, you can easily reorder sections by:

1. Clicking & dragging the Work Experience and Education sections

2. Adjusting the content to fit your level of experience

By structuring your resume strategically, you ensure recruiters see your strongest qualifications first, helping you stand out in the hiring process! 

General rule:

🎓 If you have less than 1 year of experience or are a recent graduate → Put Education first
💼 If you have 1+ years of work experience → Put Work Experience first

For recent graduates (<1 year of work experience)

If you recently graduated and have little to no professional work experience, your education is your strongest qualification.

✅ Place education at the top
✅ Include graduation date
✅ Highlight relevant coursework, projects, internships, or extracurricular activities

Example Format:

📌 Education (Placed at the top)
University of XYZ | Bachelor’s in Marketing | Graduated: May 2024

• Relevant coursework: Digital Marketing, Consumer Behavior

• Senior project: Created a marketing campaign that increased engagement by 30%

• Vice President, Marketing Club

📌 Work Experience (Placed Below Education)
Marketing Intern | ABC Company | June 2023 – August 2023

• Assisted with social media strategy, increasing engagement by 15%

• Conducted market research to identify customer trends

📌 Skills & Certifications

For Professionals (1+ years of work experience)

If you have at least one year of full-time work experience, recruiters will focus more on your professional achievements rather than your degree. Move your Education to the Bottom.

✅ Place Work Experience at the Top
✅ Remove graduation date if it’s been more than 5 years to avoid potential bias
✅ Focus on relevant job experience

Example Format:

📌 Work Experience (Placed at the top)
Marketing Specialist | ABC Company | June 2022 – Present

• Developed and executed a social media strategy that increased brand awareness by 40%

• Managed a $50,000 advertising budget, improving ROI by 25%

📌 Education (Placed at the Bottom)
University of XYZ | Bachelor’s in Marketing

• Relevant coursework: Digital Marketing, Consumer Behavior

📌 Skills & Certifications

Special Cases & Exceptions

📌 Career Changers – If switching industries, you may choose to highlight your Education first, especially if you’ve pursued a degree or certification relevant to your new field.

📌 Graduate Degrees – If you’ve recently completed a Master’s or PhD that is highly relevant to your field, you may choose to place Education above Work Experience, even if you have 1+ years of experience.
