1-2 yrs experience. Education at top?

I have been working FT for over a year and am in the process of updating my resume. Is it still ok to keep my education section at the top of my resume? I have decent work experience but I attended a top school (top 3) with an ok cum. GPA and good major GPA so I thought I should focus on my school name.

Thanks

i moved education down around the 2-3 year mark. I had enough exp to really fill it out and was able to remove internships as well. My exp was the selling point not my college or gpa. I also removed gpa and clubs.

All I have now is my college, grad day, degree and sport i played..

when you feel your exp is the selling point... change it up.... this could be 1 year , 2 year or 3.. only you would have the best idea

Have you been working in IB?
