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

If you think your brand name of school is better than your job, then yes, i would keep it at the top. Once you get one more job then maybe you can move it down, but if its HYP or something then definitely keep it up there. Leave GPA off if it isn't stellar.
Thanks. And yes it is HYP. Im a little worried about leaving GPA off. Cumulative is little more than 3.0 but major is 3.7+
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
