I'm currently working full-time and going to school full(ish)-time. By day I'm a systems analyst working with financial systems and by night I study accounting in the MS program (B.S. Finance & MIS). I should finish the MS by May 2011 and plan on working in my current position until then, unless I get something better in accounting or a different role here.

I'm trying to keep my resume up-to-date as I go because I'm applying to neat positions as they come up. I've been rewriting it to be accomplishment-based instead of task-based. I'm debating if the education section should go first, or the work experience?

I'd put the MAcc first, but that's just my opinion.

My resume (not my CV) has education first, then work experience, then
speeches & publications.

Putting MACC first makes you look more professional
