Build Your Résumé — Education

The next step is your education. If you are currently a college student or a recent graduate, you should list your education after the objective statement. However, if you have more than five years of work experience, you should consider listing your professional work experience after your objective or summery statement. If you have relevant work experience, make sure it stands out on your résumé. The education should then follow.
