If I have 2-3 years of full time work experience post grad, should I be listing “education” as my first section on my resume? Or should the very first section after my “header” section be “experience?” Or does it not matter? Also, does it need to be 1-page or is 1.5 pages OK?

I know it varies by job, of course, but I typically keep it 1 page. I start with a brief summary, followed by experience (most current first), then into education. But I suppose if your experience is not relevant to the job you're applying to, but your education is, I would probably consider flipping the two.

1 page is plenty for someone with your level of experience. You want to be concise and highlight only your most important contributions. Always put work experience first.
